The International Window Film Association (IWFA) said California residents can save the equivalent of four million barrels of oil yearly, or about the annual output of three, 500-Megawatt power stations, if energy saving window film were installed on just 10 percent of the dwellings built before building energy codes were mandated.

California leads the way as the first state to add window film into its building code and the opportunity for achieving the state’s energy goals may be closer when energy saving window film is factored in. The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) recently approved a new code that becomes effective in 2014. The CBSC adopted extensive energy code requirements voted by the California Energy Commission in 2012.
