--Do you install Passive Solar Mylar/Polyester capture & control films onto glass windows?- it really is non-electric air-conditioning if you would like more information contact me Gord Hamilton 1-888-324-8511 anytime - Thanks

No its not non-electric air conditioning, it is plastic film on windows.

--Now another subject You (especially) do not understand/comprehend or can not speak on is this-Passive solar control & capture systems. Similar to what we put on your City Hall in Hope B.C. & 9 other buildings in your town stops incoming solar gain by up to 85%- This radiant heat reduced would allow U to open your drapes at the front of your house & not feel the heat- shutting down air-conditioners-reducing costs -30-40%- Huge savings of energy & $$$. Mylar's do shatter resist glass so stones thrown at your house would not come in but just pile up outside on your grass-Until you have rock garden eh!- In winter the metalized liner absorbs the sun's rays-warming the window so as little heat goes out-also the liner accepts/absorb's outgoing conduction heat to again warm the glass-keeping heat from escaping-After doing the Best western in Kelowna -($88,000.00)-They saved whole cost's in 16 months (saving about $6,000.00 per month - or saving $700,000.00 in 8 years since done- None of these large Passive Solar projects would be done if clients where not able to call my clients up to 30 years ago to ask how it holds up?-How well it works & still works - You see there are smart academic's that do know & act on that knowledge - Then there is You - who does not act-because of knowledge vacuum & a inability to absorb-what is useful & good knowledge-Go ask your city hall how they like what U do not understand-or your glass would have been done-U could probably just put it on your self - U like bubbles- U live in one - I would help you on this if asked-because every home/building/R.V. need this product & needed it yesterday -&- many thousands should be installing this great from space-program product- it is not plastic the same as the adhesive is not just sticky stuff. We have done over 100 major buildings in Okanagan over 22 years & another 12 years in Ontario including the Bank of Canada Building in Toronto - Who's money you carrying in your wallet ?? eh?- So there is some of it (my pill dolby)

[YourPalDolby]

Wow! Your spelling and grammar has improved.

While savings were made at the Best Western they were nowhere near the figures you are stating.

[GM bwkcan]

Whats more the savings were not attributable to just solar film, as well you know. Solar film is just a small part of the equation.

--With all do respect-I would never agree to a small part of equation-it is & has been a huge part - reducing up to 80% of incoming heat - That is huge - if the Hotel I mentioned had put the reflective mylar on the building before ordering air-conditioning units they would have ordered less than 50%-of air-conditioning units & saved the whole cost of films at very beginning??- Why it is not being promoted by Hydro is a travesty they use it on almost all their buildings-to save air-conditioning & insulate to reduce incoming noise & shatter-resist all glass from storms to bad guys? As G/M have you spoke with the owner-about his decision to install about 8 years ago - Thanks for input-but Solar control films are the least expensive "Green" project for any building with the fastest quickest returns - Doesn't The windows reflect Kelowna beautifully as apposed to back of heat absorbing drapes - Gord Hamilton

Tell me how you came up with a saving of $6000 per month that you have attributed to Solar film?

--I had a phone call from the owner (G.S.) who informed me that they saved the whole cost in 18 months-as he lined up another 13 story building (Kiwanis Towers) who also saved 30% of total energy buildings costs. After investigating me for two-years (Sandman's) had us do five of their hotels also. No doubt the savings are substantial & every building should be done.Summer & major winter savings from the right film on the right windows-35 yrs experience & customers still brag about this Space program product.(on helmets & satalites)-all heat load calculations should be done twice-once as is & again as if solar film was on glass thereby saving of half the tonnage at beginning & energy $$$$ forever more- Gord Hamilton

[GMbwkcan]

So maybe you can inform us of the percentage of savings your film gave us??? Thanks.

--your posting shows Victoria are you at Kelowna location?- I would be happy to spend 20-25 minutes at location to explain & show you the how to prove calculation? & if you are in Victoria- I would meet you there within 2 weeks - Thanks Gord Hamilton

[GMbwkcan]

Well I'll tell you what...lets take your figure of 30-40% and our apparent saving of $6000 per month that would make our hydro bill before your installation at $14000-$19000 per month...Dream on Mr Hamilton. Let's be a little more honest shall we. If it's good you don't need to lie about it!!!! I guess math is not one of your good subjects either eh!!!

--Now I left a invitation to chat further-I appreciate your invitation to dream on-I have been there & the answer's R in this world thanks. The savings in this building would be greater than Kiwanis towers-because of the extreme amount of (non-low E) glass & the orientation to the sun-both east hallway & south walls-8 years ago when we did that project I was told the savings where about $3000.oo per month-I know fuel has doubled since then & the building has grown in size-Now do we get another chance to meet I will be in Kelowna early next week-I believe your savings are over $50 K per year-betcha lunch? at great little eatery within ?

--My math is quite good-but the equation should also include gas bill? not just Hydro- Heating is reduced considerably by what is called the U-Value (absorbing the heat into windows to warm them)-collecting the radiant heat in the metalized component of the film-reduces-the heat going out - instead keeping it working within the outside envelope-of buildings- look forward to meeting U - this week - Gord

--I did not see the question?-but-i can't help but answer U have oil-B.C.Bud & a computer - enjoy - Passive Solar Capture & Control Films R major part of future - Gordo -

Skygord makes this sound like the answer to all of your problems. I can assure you that is not the case, not all buildings or homes will benefit from this to the degree he claims, in fact I can't think of one. Research and due dilligence is required before going ahead with Solar Film application. Before I get slammed for this I should tell you that I have been installing this for the last 30+ years and have 9 companies Canada wide. All the best.

--Well U could be Gary Newco - the only other person I know who has been in the Passive solar capture & control field-almost as long as I - 35 years - so if you have been in the field that long U would already know who I am? one guess-that is all U need- it is I - who was first in all of Canada-doing the Bank of Canada-bottom of University street in Toronto back in 1973 -with Solar Master & the spray the glue on the window first eh? Now I would take the time to debate this with U-if U would like -for the viewers who should know more about this super product.Now I will start with every single window in this country should be solar filmed as fast as possible-&-the right film on the right windows does give the savings I have gotten for my clients- over 100- major hotels/buildings no complaints-same facts-Now U-R taking the position it does not work as well as I say-so I say U put the wrong film on that building maybe at customers request?(I don't want silver-I want light bronze-oh thats to dark? oh just close the drapes?-So U give them after telling them what they want & some do not get same results-anyways out new windows will not need glass eh? why use glass?-14 mil film-pinched steel frame- 60 MPH 2x4-hurricane winds- we R O.K. eh? so there is my opener? Tell me something different = Gordo

--I met with G/M of said hotel this week & was given more windows to do & a compliment from her-Now we know that the poster was a impostor pretending to be the GenMan of one of my clients-We now know that impostor is/was John Moody of Hope B.C. who has been stalking & harrasing me & my on line projects for close to a year - it is a sad thing that people can act like this on-line-that was not the GM as posted it was all a lie.
