Use Solar Screens
RECEIVED Wed., June 6, 2007
Dear Editor,
Solar screens enable every window exposed to sunlight to do a great job controlling solar heat gain, and glare while adding privacy and reducing interior fading due to the sun's UV rays.
They improve curb appeal and save money on your electric bill while easing the load on your air conditioner making it last longer with fewer problems.
Solar screens reduce fuel consumption and demand on our energy grid when it is needed most, during peak power periods (hot afternoons are the biggest drain on the energy grid).
If all buildings used solar screens the reduced demand on the power grid would be significant, going a long way toward reducing energy consumption.
Each power company, town, city, state, or the country could offer incentives to encourage us all to use solar screens and the new compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
America could lead by example reducing energy demand and hydrocarbon pollution. This could trigger a revolutionary phenomenon of getting everyone to reduce global warming.
