Many ofour CustomersProbably have no clue what aEnergy Analysisis (As seen below)! 
It is a very useful tool, used for finding a film that will solve energy problems on any sized building. It will also tell you helpful information about your Rate of return on your investment in the Film! 
Many of the figures can be adjusted tocreate a custom analysis for your building! 
These are tools thatexperts at Made In The Shade Inc use to help you!
Remember that energy savings are not the only way Films can save you money! 
How much is your favorite piece of art or furniture worth?

Dear Mr.
The attached economic analysis report was completed using Demand Analyzer, an energy simulation software package developed by ITEM Systems. As demonstrated within the report, the application of energy conservation products to your building may result in significant energy cost savings. For the products considered, the projected annual savings is $2,691 and the minimum payback period is 5.13 years.
Demand Analyzer utilizes the U.S. Department of Energy’s sophisticated DOE-2 building energy analysis software for estimating energy savings for building projects. DOE-2 is a whole-building analysis program that calculates energy use and operating cost for each hour of the year, using typical weather data for the selected location. DOE-2 is widely used by consulting engineers for the design of energy-efficient buildings; by researchers for impact analysis of new heating, cooling and lighting technologies; and by state and federal agencies for developing energy-efficiency standards. DOE-2 is internationally recognized for the accuracy of its energy analysis algorithms as well as its ability to model a variety of buildings,HVAC systems and energy conservation measures. Additional information about ITEM Systems and Demand Analyzer is available at http://www.item.com and DOE-2 information can be found at http://gundog.lbl.gov.
The attached report summarizes the input data used to model your building and the resulting energy and cost savings for the selected Window Film products. You can be confident that your choice in installing these Window Films for your building is the right decision. Trusted and respected all over the world, these manufactures offer the best products to help you save money and assist in maintaining a comfortable building environment.
Thank you for your consideration ofMITS Inc Film products.
Sincerely,
David E Ewing
