SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The management from Solar Gard® window films, a Bekaert product, today announced it has teamed up with the Clinton Climate Initiative to reduce energy consumption in public and commercial buildings. Installation of Solar Gard window film is included under the Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit Program, which was designed to help public entities lower their energy consumption. Solar Gard window film can be sized to fit any glass door or window, making it an essential measure for government buildings which are often historic and frequently characterized by oversized windows. Now, all public organizations that have committed to reducing their carbon footprint can easily and cost-effectively fit Solar Gard window film into an overall strategy to reduce CO2 emissions. "Climate change is a global issue that we must address immediately if we are to reverse its catastrophic effects," said President Clinton. "I am pleased that the US Conference of Mayors, Wal-Mart and many businesses are working with my foundation to supply energy efficient and clean energy products. By offering these products at a discounted rate, we can ensure that more cities and citizens have access to them and that the market for clean energy technology will grow. Together, I hope that we can have a measurable impact on greenhouse gas emissions around the world." Numerous municipal buildings worldwide have already realized the benefits of Solar Gard window film. A select list of these installations includes: Department of Energy and National Geographic Society Campus (both in the USA), Hong Kong International Airport (China); Seongdong-Gu Office Complex (Korea); Helsinki Metro (Finland); Lyon Metro (France); Raffles Tower (Singapore); Australia Square (Australia); Kudan Fuji Building (Japan) and Millbank Tower (England).
