Energy Savings

Energy-Efficient Commercial Window Treatments

MAG Resources helps customers improve building performance through smarter window treatment solutions. Energy-efficient shading, light control and material selection all play a role in creating comfortable interiors while supporting long-term operational efficiency.

Because windows can account for a significant portion of energy loss in commercial buildings, the right window treatments can make a meaningful difference in helping balance daylight, comfort and performance across your space.

How Window Treatments Support Energy Efficiency

How Window Treatments Support Energy Efficiency

Commercial window coverings do more than manage light and privacy. When thoughtfully selected and installed, they help regulate interior temperatures, reduce glare and support more consistent indoor comfort throughout the day.

Energy-saving benefits of window treatments may include:

  • Improved daylight control and reduced heat gain
  • More consistent indoor temperatures
  • Protection of interiors from UV exposure
  • Reduced strain on HVAC systems

A Smarter Approach to Performance

Energy savings don’t come from one product alone. They come from how solutions are specified, installed and maintained over time.

Assessment
We begin by understanding building conditions, sun exposure and how your spaces are used before recommending solutions.

Alignment
From solar shades and roller shades to window film and motorized systems, we help align products that support both performance goals and everyday usability.

Execution
Our programs and project management approach help ensure installations are completed correctly, supporting long-term performance from day one. Window treatments can help reduce cooling demands during warmer months while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.

Understanding Key Performance Terms

Here’s what to look for when evaluating commercial window coverings:
Heat Icon

R-Value

Indicates how well a window covering helps slow heat loss.
Higher R-Values generally mean better insulation performance.
2 arrows icon

Solar Reflectance

Indicates how much solar energy is reflected away from the window covering rather than absorbed.
Shades icon

Shading Coefficient

Shows how much heat passes through a treated window compared to bare glass. Lower numbers typically mean better heat reduction.
Eyeball icon

Visual Transmittance

Refers to the amount of visible light that passes through, affecting brightness and outward views.
UV Protection icon

UV Transmittance

Measures how much ultraviolet light passes through a window covering. Lower percentages help protect interiors from fading and sun damage.
Speaker Icon

Sound Absorption (Noise Reduction Coefficient)

Describes how well a material helps absorb reflected sound, supporting quieter interior environments.
Half Sun Icon

Solar Transmittance

Represents the amount of solar energy allowed through the material, helping influence interior comfort and daylight levels.
