Ecolux 70 Low-E — Dual-Climate Energy Performance for Federal Facilities
Solar Gard® Ecolux 70 Low-E is an advanced low-emissivity window film engineered for year-round energy performance in government buildings, military installations, and institutional facilities. By combining solar heat rejection with radiant heat retention, Ecolux 70 addresses both cooling and heating loads — directly supporting Executive Order 14057 decarbonization mandates and federal net-zero emissions goals.

Federal Facility Applications
- Federal Office Buildings: Reduces HVAC energy consumption in GSA-managed facilities while maintaining daylighting standards
- Military Installations: Upgrades single-pane glazing in barracks, administrative buildings, and medical centers
- VA Hospitals & Clinics: Improves patient comfort, reduces glare on medical displays, and lowers operating costs
- Courthouses & Judicial Facilities: Preserves natural light in courtrooms while reducing solar gain
- Historic Federal Buildings: Approved for historic preservation projects — enhances energy performance without altering window appearance
- Schools & Universities: Reduces classroom overheating while maintaining visual connection to outdoors
EO 14057 Compliance Support
Ecolux 70 Low-E directly supports the federal government's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Retrofitting existing glazing with low-emissivity film is recognized as a cost-effective decarbonization strategy that avoids full window replacement, reduces embodied carbon, and delivers measurable energy savings within the first year of installation.
