Installing commercial awnings can reduce the money spent on monthly utility bills and more.
Managing energy costs for their store is a top priority for many business owners. Their main concern is to save energy and ultimately save money. While there are many steps you can take with appliances and other more eco-friendly elements inside your business, there are also a few things you can do to your property’s exterior. This is where commercial awnings come in! Installing commercial awnings can reduce the money spent on monthly utility bills and more. Keep reading to learn more about the energy savings that come with commercial awnings.
Reduces Excess Heat
Consistent hours of sunlight shining through windows can raise the interior temperature of your building, which means that you will have to spend more on air conditioning during the summer. But a commercial awning can reduce the amount of sunlight that gets in. As a result, investing in a shade structure can help you cut down on your monthly energy bill. It will also save you money by cutting the amount of wear and tear on your HVAC system.
Blocks Harmful UV Rays
Your building will be affected by solar radiation during the hottest months of the year. Too much sunlight can also affect the people and furniture inside because of harmful ultraviolet or UV rays. By installing commercial awnings, you’re able to block most of the sun’s rays from directly entering your building. This will make it easier to save money on expensive equipment deteriorating or fading in the sunlight and save on your electricity bill by keeping temperatures low.
Makes Your Building Comfortable
Many business owners use air conditioners to pump out cool air to control the temperature in parts of the office. Unfortunately, thermostat placement and HVAC design are often not a one-size-fits-all solution for office temperature control. Meaning, those sitting near windows stay relatively comfortable while those away from windows are either too hot or too cold. Metal awnings can help with this problem. The less the sun rays can transfer heat into office windows, the less energy is needed to power air conditioners to cool parts of the office.
Helps With Window Tinting
If you have some tinted windows on your business, you may already have seen some improvements in your energy costs. In fact, you can add a commercial awning to enhance the effects of your window tint. Commercial awnings are typically more effective than window films for preventing solar heat exposure. By combining the awning with window tint, you can significantly improve your UV protection.
