Sustainability Impact
The adoption of the Ceramic Architectural Model 60 solar film aligns with DITP's commitment to sustainability by offering
several key environmental benefits:
• Reduced Energy Consumption: By minimising solar heat gain, the film significantly lowers the need for air conditioning,
leading to a substantial reduction in energy usage.
• Enhanced Indoor Comfort: Maintaining cooler indoor temperatures naturally improves comfort for occupants, reducing
reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems.
• UV Protection: Protecting against harmful UV rays not only preserves the integrity of interior furnishings but also contributes
to the health and well-being of DITP's patrons and staff.

Operational and Aesthetic Benefits
Beyond its environmental advantages, the Ceramic Architectural Model 60 solar film offers operational cost savings and
aesthetic benefits:
• Operational Cost Efficiency: Lower energy consumption translates to reduced utility bills, offering financial savings that can
be reallocated to further sustainability initiatives.
• Preserved Aesthetics: The film's neutral appearance ensures that the visual impact on the building is minimal, maintaining
the natural beauty of DITP while achieving energy efficiency goals.
