LEED CREDITS
Earning LEED Credits with – Premier Window Films™

As you pursue LEED certification through the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), you will be exploring many options to meet your goals. Premier Window Films™ is a proven energy saving product that can directly help you achieve LEED Credits. Below are six categories within the standard where Premier Solar control window film can be applied towards meeting the criteria for earning LEED credits.

All buildings, new and existing, applying for LEED certification must meet the EPA ENERGY STAR® rating of at least 60. Certification for minimum energy performance requires that building electricity bills, cost, and usage be provided before improvements are made and that for a given building type and function, specific energy reduction goals must be met according to the guidelines for the EPA ENERGY STAR® rating.

The energy saving benefits of window film can help companies to achieve the initial rating of 60, and it also can provide additional LEED credits once the baselines are met. Premier Solar energy saving window film is covered by the LEED for Existing Buildings Certification. Details can be found in the USGBC LEED for Existing Buildings Reference Guide, version 2.0, available through the USGBC website.

How Premier Window Films™ Earns LEED Credits

1. Premier Window Films™ – Energy Performance Credits

Buildings that exceed the EPA ENERGY STAR® rating of 60 required for certification can receive up to 10 LEED credits through additional energy efficiency improvements (LEED E&A Credit #1). The table below shows the LEED points that can be earned for an existing building based on additional energy efficiency improvements. Window film alone can provide from one to four LEED points in energy efficiency improvements, depending on the environment and the film installed.

2. Premier Window Films™ – Credit for Light Pollution Reduction

Light pollution reduction, also known as “Light Trespass”, is covered by Credit #7 under the “Sustainable Sites” goal. “Light Trespassing” occurs when lighting used within the building is visible at certain levels in the surrounding external environment. To qualify for this LEED credit, most of the internal light must fall within the building. Luminosity measurements are taken outdoors, with all lights off, and again with all the lights on. A LEED credit is achieved if the outdoor illumination level does not increase more than 10% than levels with the “lights on.”

Installing solar control window film will result in a lower amount of visible light transmission (VLT) through the WINDOWS. Window films have varying degrees of visible light transmission, and films with lower VLT ratings will greatly reduce light trespass from the building. When choosing a film, you can consider the amount of likely light trespass in advance and select specific films with a given target in mind. For example, Stainless Steel 50 can cut light trespass from a window in half.

3. Premier Window Films™ – Glare Reduction Credit

Under the Environmental Quality category (EQ #8.2), a credit can be achieved for “providing for glare control features for all windows where direct penetration of sunlight would interfere with normal occupant activities”. This is a goal that works in conjunction with the light pollution requirement in Sustainable Sites Credit 7 for “light trespass”. This requirement can be met by applying window films with a VLT low enough to meet occupant requirements for glare-free activity. For example, Stainless Steel 50, which reduces light trespass, will have the added benefit of glare reduction. Applying this film can eliminate unwanted glare on computer screens and maintain an internal glare free environment, allowing you to pursue both “light trespass and glare reduction” credits in a single application.

5. Premier Window Films™ – Thermal Comfort

Improving and maintaining thermal comfort for one LEED Credit is an option under section EQ 7.1 of the certification program. The performance measurements are the same as those for the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 55-2004. ASHRAE 55-2004 is a thermal comfort standard that outlines requirements for documenting a space as appropriately thermally comfortable for the occupants. The credit can be met by demonstrating compliance with data logging temperatures (#7.6.2.2), or by survey, where at least 80% of building occupants must consider themselves comfortable in the building climate (#7.6.2.1). This includes mitigating “local discomfort” (#5.2.4) and reducing temperature variations with time (#5.2.5).

Solar heat transmitted through untreated windows is often the cause of local discomfort. Occupant complaints about excessive heat or hotspots can be completely mitigated by applying high performance, solar rejecting window films (as referenced in section #5.2.4). Solar control window film excels at moderating temperature variations over time, greatly improving thermal comfort (as referenced in #5.2.5).

6. Premier Window Films™ – Innovation Credits

There is also an innovation category for up to four extra LEED credits that you can apply for by making a case that a chosen building upgrade, not currently covered under the LEED for Existing Buildings standard, has improved the environment of the building.

There are two ways that window film can be used to apply for the innovation credits. One way is to apply for a credit based on the environmental benefits provided by blocking ultraviolet radiation through solar control window film. Window film blocks 99% or more of harmful UV A and UVB rays, which contribute to skin damage and skin cancer, and are the leading factor causing fading to interiors. A second eligible credit could be earned if fade reduction can be applied to reducing waste or improved building maintenance, as specified in the Materials and Resources section of the standard.

Premier Window Films™ – Optimize Your LEED Credits

There are many opportunities to leverage window film when applying for LEED certification. While some categories seem to contradict each other, it is important to review the entire set of opportunities and apply for the areas that will provide the most impact for your building. Premier Window Films™ offers an array of window films with varying VLTs and heat rejection properties. Analyzing your building and occupant needs in conjunction with the LEED certification requirements will help you to select the best film or set of films for your building.

Window Film Tax Credits in 2009 & 2010

The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act reinstated Federal tax credits for consumers who make certain energy-efficient improvements to their homes. This bill extended tax credits for energy efficient home improvements, such as energy saving window film.

Under section 25C of the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.), homeowners can receive a 30 percent credit on the costs of “qualified energy efficiency improvements,” including Premier Window Films™ Solar Control window film on windows, doors, and skylights. This tax credit applies only to improvements made to a primary residence from Jan. 1, 2009 through Dec. 31, 2010.

A tax credit is generally more valuable than an equivalent tax deduction because a tax credit reduces your tax dollar-for-dollar, while a deduction only removes a percentage of the tax that is owed. If you can itemize energy-related purchases on your federal income tax form, it will lower the total amount of tax you owe the government.

*Homeowners can receive a 30 percent credit on the cost of the window film, up to $1500. Installation costs do not apply, only the cost of the film. This credit is in addition to any previous credit used.

Save On Your Energy Bills Now
Cooling costs related to the heat gained through WINDOWS can make up about 40 percent of a home’s summer utility bill.

Premier Window Films™reduces total solar energy by up to 80 percent, which helps lower your energy consumption. And the energy savings benefits go on year after year, long after you have received the tax credit.

And the benefits don’t stop there. In addition to energy savings all year long, window film also can:

Improve your comfort by eliminating hot spots and maintaining interior temperatures
Help protect your family from UV exposure, which can help prevent certain forms of skin cancer
Reduce glare
Reduce fading of furnishings and interiors
Eligibility
Any homeowner who purchases and installs qualifying

Premier Window Films™solar control window film (see manufacturer’s certfication for eligible films) between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2010 is eligible to receive a tax credit.

How to Receive Credit
Complete the 2009 version of the IRS form 5695 and file 2009 Income Tax Returns by April 15, 2010 and 2010 Income Tax Returns by April 15, 2011. Maintain copies of the dealer invoice and the manufacturer’s certification statement for your records. If you are audited, you will need to provide these documents to the IRS.

Tax forms are available for downloadable from http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_tax_credits#c1 or the IRS website athttp://www.irs.gov/. For further information about energy tax credits, visit http://www.energy.gov/taxbreaks.htm.
