Year-Round Savings with Honeycomb Shades
Being energy efficient in the home simply means you’re intentionally using less energy with the overall goal of saving money and helping the environment. By reducing energy consumption, you lessen your carbon footprint and decrease energy waste, and that in turn minimizes monthly energy bills. Energy efficiency is good for the planet and your wallet, and there are many ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency including with your window treatment (especially if you choose energy efficient styles like cellular honeycomb shades).
Window treatments play an important role in energy efficiency because windows are one of the biggest culprits of energy loss in the home responsible for up to 30% of energy loss. Window treatments, like cellular honeycomb shades, insulate windows to reduce energy transfer. And since there are windows in almost every room, window shades play a role in energy conservation throughout the home year-round.
Year-Round Control and Savings
Temperature Control with Honeycomb Shades
- Winter: During the colder months of winter, it’s important to keep the valuable heat you're paying for inside where it belongs. The cellular construction of honeycomb shades traps air to create an insulating layer that prevents heat from escaping out the window. That conserved heat is seen as cost savings on energy bills as better heat retention lowers the need for additional energy use.
- Summer: When temperatures rise in the summer, energy efficiency is all about blocking heat to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. So, the same insulating properties that conserved heat in the winter will help block heat in the summer to keep the inside of your home cooler. A naturally cooler indoor temperature helps reduce the need for artificial cooling, which is a substantial money-saving, energy-conserving feature.
- Spring & Autumn: Since spring and autumn can bring a range of weather for Montana, it’s important to have a window treatment that is flexible to help with both the warmer and cooler days during these transitional seasons. For example, on colder days you might want a window treatment that will allow more natural light to enter to provide the room with free solar heat while on a warm day in that same room you may need to harness more of the insulating and heat blocking qualities of a honeycomb shade. For maximum flexibility Hunter Douglas cellular honeycomb shades are available with the Top-Down/Bottom-Up operating system that offers exponentially more options for maneuverability for light control, privacy, and versatility of its energy efficiency features.
Light Control with Honeycomb Shades
Temperature control isn’t the only energy efficient feature that saves homeowners money. The intentional use of natural light can reduce the need for artificial light, and good design should always maximize the use of free energy sources to minimize the need to pay for the artificial ones. Honeycomb shades come in a range of light-filtering opacities from sheer to semi-opaque to blackout, so there are options for many levels of light control. Additionally, Hunter Douglas cellular honeycomb shades are available with the Duolite® operating system that features a light-filtering and a room-darkening shade on a single treatment for double the functionality when it comes to light-control. Honeycomb shades can also be customized to fit windows with unique shapes or special sizes, so they can work on any window in your home ensuring the upmost level of light-control throughout your home.
