To: Richard McLeod, Todd McLeod, Pete Fitzpatrick
We are very pleased with our custom made In’Flector blinds. We have already experienced the reduced load on our Air Conditioning System by reflecting the sun’s rays and radiant heat out from our front window. In a couple of months we’ll compare our utility bills to confirm how much we are saving just by installing the In’Flector blinds. The savings will be significant. The compliments we receive from our customers are amazing. It is so satisfying for us to know that we have increased their comfort level inside our store, literally within seconds, after the blinds were installed. We’ve had many inquiries from customers and delivery carriers about the blinds and where we got them. They actually sell themselves! We hand them one of your flyers and tell them to give you a call. So hopefully you will be getting more business. Your product is great and you two guys are excellent. You have truly delighted customers from us ladies here at Mail Box Plus.
Thank you for introducing us to this great product!
Sincerely,
Co-owners Marta Winegarden and Elizabeth Mooty

That same afternoon that the In’Flector was installed, Mrs. Stan Sirote of Hutchinson Island, Florida, visited the store on her daily rounds to pick up her mail. On feeling the difference in comfort level of the store, she inquired as to what had been done, was told that the In’Flector had been installed, and immediately called Florida Solar Window Insulators and ordered the product for the 2 condominiums she owns on the beach on Hutchinson Island. Not only did she and her husband have indoor discomfort due to solar and radiant heat gain, they also had glare problems in watching their TV. Below is the Sirote’s testimonial….

Subject: A Product And Company Recommendation For You
Dear Richard-You may utilize the following in any way you choose.
To whom it may concern…..We recently purchased In’Flector roller shades for the sliding glass doors on the west side of our condominium home, after seeing the product at Mail Box Plus in Jensen Beach. Richard McLeod and his son Todd were professional, courteous and prompt. More importantly, their product is literally amazing; it has made it possible for us to retain our lovely view from the 11th floor and still watch our large screen TV without having to “close up” due to glare. These shades also reflect the heat of the sun back outside, thus dropping the temperature in this room during the afternoon hours literally by 10 to 15 degrees! I wish we’d discovered this wonderful product years ago.
We strongly recommend Florida Solar Window Insulators, and the products they sell.
Sincerely Yours,
Mr. and Mrs. Stan Sirote

I just wanted to take a moment out to let you know how well the
In’Flector has performed in my home. Several years ago I had a loft
built in my living room, which had high, 18 ft cathedral ceilings.
The loft serves as an office and guest room. Unfortunately, we did
not realize at the time that it would get so hot up there that we
literally could not use it in the hot South Florida months from May
through October.
Hearing about the In’Flector, I had window panels installed in the
four 15” by 36” windows in the loft, and I am amazed at how much the
heat in the loft has been reduced! We are now able to utilize the
loft without any discomfort, which we thought would be impossible.
The In’Flector has truly lived up to its’ billing. It really does
cut out the solar heat gain and radiant heat gain which seeps
through the window structures.
I would heartily recommend the In’Flector to anyone who has any
rooms which are effected by the sun’s rays heating up a room.
Sincerely,
Alice Fitzpatrick

Attention: Mr. Todd McLeod:
Dear Todd,
Just wanted to take a moment out to rave about the job the
In’Flector has done in cooling down my home, specifically, the
master bathroom with the skylight in it. Ever since I purchased my
home, I have been thrilled with it, with the exception of the heat
created by the sunlight in that bathroom. My only way of solving the
solar heat problem created in the bathroom was to shut the Air
Conditioning vent and keep the bathroom door closed. Not the desired
method I would actually want!
After hearing about the In’Flector, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to
give it a try. To say I’m shocked with the results is an
understatement. After measuring the skylight and installing the
In’Flector about 2 inches underneath the skylight as you instructed,
the heat entering the skylight from the sun stopped immediately! I
estimate that the In’Flector has cooled off my master bathroom by 15
degrees. I now can keep the door open, and even with the AC vent
still closed, the bathroom is cool. I am in shock! The In’Flector
did exactly what you said it would.
You truly have a miracle product on your
hands in the In’Flector. I will not hesitate to tell my In’Flector
story to anyone I know who has a solar heat gain/window problem at
home, or at their office.
Thanks so much for solving a problem I thought couldn’t be solved!
Sincerely,
Joe Cluroe

Att’n: Mr. Pete Fitzpatrick
I’d like to let you know how well the In’Flector has performed in my
home in the Pablo Bay Community here in Jacksonville. As previously
discussed, the skylight in the ceiling of the second floor in our
home was allowing the sun’s heat to pour in virtually all day,
forcing the upstairs 2 ˝ ton AC compressor to run non-stop from
about 9:00 am to almost 8:00 pm daily. After installing the
In’Flector up in the recesses of the skylight, about 3 inches under
the skylight, I would estimate that the compressor run time has been
reduced between 40%-50%. The change was immediate! The compressor
now kicks on for about a 10 minute cycle, and then kicks off.
As you recall, I also had the In’Flector installed in one of the
upstairs windows. I will be measuring at least 6 more windows in
which I would like the In’Flector installed.
Just wanted to let you know how pleased my wife and I are in the
results. Our first utility bill showed a double digit decrease in
Kilowatt usage, which represented a substantial savings from the
corresponding utility bill from last year. We’re looking forward to
bigger savings in the future, as well as experiencing greater indoor
comfort from the solar heat gain and radiant heat gain that the
In’Flector will be preventing from entering our home.
Sincerely,
John Price

Dear Mike,
My husband and I bought an older home four years ago but found that cold and drafts were a problem, even with the thermostat turned up. Our main concerns were, of course, the drafts around the windows. Our family room was the worst. Sitting directly under the window was almost impossible as we would be so uncomfortable. Another concern was in a spare room which we had rented to an elderly lady. She stays in her room most of the time and sits right next to the window reading, and watching TV.
I am pleased to report that our heating bill has been greatly reduced since you installed the solar screens and our lady raves about how warm she is now, and she reads easily with the screens down.
Thanks again for introducing us to In'flector screens. We hope to install them throughout the whole house in the near future!
Yours Truly,

Dear Mrs. Prendergast,
I realized I had window problems in my sunroom because i could not enjoy the use of the room in either winter or summer regardless of howI tried to heat or cool the room. I accepted the free estimate without obligation offered by your company because I was looking for a solution to my window problems.
After the presentation of the product, i was certain the In'flector window insulator was the answer. I kept a daily log of the weather conditions and temperatures throughout the winter, and discovered the In'flector window insulator truly lived up to its literature of eliminating drafts, creating heat, and maintaining room temperature.
I am very pleased with the in'flector panels and more pleased i can now enjoy the use of my sunroom
I am more than willing to answer any questions that may arise to 'show off" my sunroom to all interested potential customers.
Thank You,

Dear Mr. George,
I am happy to write you and convey my satisfaction with the In'flector panels. As you remember one of our main concerns was our high heating bills. The panels helped reduce our heating costs from $1,200.00 the previous winter to just $800.00 this past winter. So you might expect we are quite pleased. Looking forward to a cooler home in the summer also.
Sincerely,

Gentlemen:
I am writing this note in regard to the purchase if in'flector window insulators. I purposely waited a year to write this so iIcould get a real feel for this product…..and I am happy to say that in these times of scams and rip-offs, that your product is for real!
As you know, my home had a serious over-heating problem in day time and very cold winter nights. These problems are now a thing of the past. I now can sit in my front room without sunglasses in the day, or a winter parka in the evenings. I can also leave my furniture in one spot without it or my carpet fading severely from the U.V. rays. With my home being so new i can't give you a monetary saving on fuel but I can tell you the difference in the comfort level has risen 100% and therefore i know my fuel consumption has dropped drastically.
I would also like to compliment you and your staff on your customer follow-up. Having just built a new home, I had to deal with many contractors and companies for products. You were the only people who cared enough to call and see how I was making out with your product.
In closing, I would like to say I think you have a quality product and I welcome any calls from curious customers who may think this is just another scam of the 90's.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Gord,
I would like to compliment you on the solar screens we purchased from your company 18 months ago. They really work!
As you are aware, our home is total electric, and your product has saved us "lots"! We also appreciate the security for our family as we can see out, but others can't see inside during daytime hours.
Thank you for making our home more comfortable, secure, and less expensive to operate!
Thanks Again,

Dear John,
I thought i would drop you this note to report on the In'flector screening that you and Jeff installed on 12 of 14 windows in our split-entry home, approximately 2,000 sq ft of living space, just over 1 year ago (December 31, 1991).
Many interested people have asked about the visual impact of these screens being placed on the windows and we have found it quite similar to the inside screening used by Pella windows which we had in our previous house. First of all, one adjusts to them right away and in no time you forget they are there. During the day they let in the light and you can see out of them without any problem at night. I would compare them to a sheer curtain; if there is a lot of light in the room and limited light outdoors then it's more difficult to focus on objects outside; conversely, if there is more light outdoors, then you can see everything clearly and the screen appears almost invisible.
As you know we made this investment to reduce our heating costs and hoped to improve the comfort level as well. I still can't believe the difference! This past winter we were more comfortable, burned less wood, and used less electrical heat. There is no more cold draft and in fact as we sit in the living room we can see the In'flector holding back the draft as it ripples from the air leakage of the double hung windows. When we peel back the corner, visitors are astounded by the cold air that gushes into the room.
You might want to show this letter to prospective customers. We are very pleased. Thanks again

Outdoor Residential Pool With Glass Enclosure
Port St. Lucie, Florida-2010
The In’Flector Makes a Big Difference
99.9% of Florida residential pools have screen enclosures. Not this one. This Port St Lucie homeowner elected to have a total glass enclosure, desiring to have his pool area air conditioned. But solar heat and radiant heat wasn’t a consideration, and it was soon realized that the radiant heat entering the pool area could not be overcome by the air conditioning system.
Enter the In’Flector. As you can see, vertical blinds were installed around the 3 sides of the pool (as you can see on one side above). Note how the glare has been drastically cut down compared to the areas above the verticals, which had panels installed the next day. Panels were also utilized for the ceiling portion of the pool, and the homeowner was ecstatic over the impact the In’Flector had on increasing the comfort level of the pool area.

Subject: I'm Impressed!
I have to say that I'm impressed. I'm not easily impressed with today's companies promising the world yet delivering little, then when called to help you get lost in red-tape and answering machines. This is not the case with you.
We had seen your display at one of the home shows in Toronto. I put my name on the list to be called and then forgot all about it. A while later a rep called, came by, measured my application and then went to work. A small communication problem arose when I had paid and then hadn't heard back, but a quick call into the company's main number had my product found, the communication glitch fixed and an installation fellow out to my house in no time. (score 1 for customer service).
We have a switch back stairway going up to our second floor with a 1.5 x 3 ft skylight. It gets incredibly hot up there during the spring/summer/fall. The rest of our house can be comfortable while it can be 12c warmer upstairs and the air conditioner is not happy with that. The day after they installed the product the upstairs had next to no temperature difference from downstairs. It was unbelievable! I've never had a product that did exactly what it said it would do. We were so impressed we decided that our next house (soon to move in to) is going to get this treatment in all necessary rooms (score 1 for the product!).
We had one more small issue with the product departing from the skylight. One call again to the company had a flurry of action with plans for adjustments/retrofits, anything it'll take to get it right. To say that I'm impressed is an understatement. Don't lose this attitude and congratulations on a product well engineered!

Dear Robert,
We are very pleased with the effect of our sun exposure, thru our energy bill, caused by installing the In'flector Panels on the 8 x 8 x 20 skylights at our Oakpoint office building at 9111 Jollyville Road in Austin, Texas. The simultaneous installation of the In'flector with the newly built skylights was a savings in installation effort, and will keep this cooler during the remaining useful life of the structure, without a discernable decrease in the amount of natural lighting levels.
Feel free to walk any future client through the lobby to see the installation in person.
Thank You,

Dear Rich………..After this hot summer, I felt that you would be interested in knowing how well the in'flector performed.
Our office windows face west, so we are subect to very hot sun rays in the afternoon. Previously we have had to completely close our window blinds just to reduce the glare but this did very little to stop the heat gain.
I'm rather delighted to say that our office was very much more comfortable this summer. Previously our west office was 10-15 degrees fahrenheit warmer than the east side; now our entire office has a more uniform comfortable temperature.
Rich, i must admit that the In'flector exceeded my expectations. Feel free to have any of your skeptcal prospective customers call me or drop in to experience the difference themselves. Congratulatons on an excellent product!

Dear Sir,
It is rare in this industry to see a new product that actually works, it is almost unheard of to have a product that lives up to the claims made by the promotional literature! Therefore, I am in awe that In’flector has not only lived up to the sales literature, but in some cases has surpassed the claims made!
As you are aware, our offices are situated in a building that was originally built in 1878 and in my office (in which In'flector solar panels have recently been installed) I either cooked in the summer months or froze in the winter months. I now can say that I no longer have any problems with the change of season.
In conclusion, I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone.

Dear Mr Channon,
We have recently completed the tests on the In'flector window insulators at our Fraser mine sit. As you are aware,
Ontario Hydro supplied the test equipment and your products was used on the windows at one office, while the adjoining and identical offices was left as is.
After completion of the two month test, it would appear that energy savings of 43.8% were achieved using the In'flector. I'm very impressed! My initial skepticism has certainly proved unfounded and I'm going to forward these test results to our other properties so they may avail themselves of your product.
You will be no doubt hearing from our energy management committee in the very near future.

Dear Guy,
Please find attached a copy of our hydro bill for the period ending July 18, 1995. You will note that we are now using 1,975 KWH of energy per day compared to 2,483 KWH for the same period in 1994.
This will represent savings of approximately $37.63 per day or slight in excess of $1,000.00 for the month. In mid winter we experienced savings of 250 KWH per day
In the spring, the electricity demand was fairly similar from 1994 to 1995.
I thought you would be interested in this information.

Dear Guy,
I thought you would be interested to date of the key tag service building with your In'flector panels.
As you know the key tag service building was built during 1993 and was occupied commencing August 23, 1993. All windows are tinted bronze and the gap between the window unit and the window opening has been sealed with a foam insulation product to eliminate air infiltration.
The building is heated and cooled by 43 individually controlled heat pumps. All the heat pumps are connected together allowing us to take advantage of the heat generated in certain parts of the building being used around the perimeter of the building during the winter months. Excess heat is taken out of the fluid connected to the heat pumps through a cooling tower on the roof. The cooling tower has four stages, the first stage being the opening of the garage door. The second stage is a spraying of water onto the pipes containing the fluid from the heat pumps allowing excell heat to be dissipated. The third stage adds a low speed fan and the fourth stage increases the fan to high speed. In the warm months prior to the installation in late July we experienced hot and cold periods daily in all perimeter rooms.
The area known as customer service, which faces south and west, was the most affected areas. During the hottest day, the staff had to keep the blinds closed constantly to keep out the heat. The two heat pump units would run almost constantly trying to keep the room at a cooler temperature. With the In'flector panels in place there is very minimal incoming heat through the window. The air conditioning unit doesn't have to run as long to satisfy the thermostat. The staff has had to adjust the thermostat up as the area now becomes cooler than they would like. By now running the heat pumps as long, it is expected that the life of the heat pump will be increased.
The In'flector panels have also reduced the glare on the computer screens.
Prior to the installation of the In'flector panels on the window, whenever the outside temperatures exceed 70 degrees on a sunny day the cooling tower would alternate back and forth between cooling stages three and four. When the outside temperature exceeded 80 degrees the cooling tower was on at the fourth stage at all times. Since the In'flector panels were installed in late july, we have not been to the fourth stage of cooling. The cooling tower fluctuates between the second and third stages and when the temperature is below 70 degrees between cooling stages on and two.
Cooling stage one draws no electricity with the exception of opening the garage door. Cooling stage two draws four amps at 600 volts. Cooling stage three draws 12 amps at 600 volts and cooling stage four draws 30 amps at 600 volts. From these numbers Hydro bill is dropping one stage.
We are interested in seeing what happens in the winter when the south facing windows should allow us to extract heat through the In'flector panel to be distributed throughout the building.
Yours Very Truly,
David R. Saunders, C.A., Executive Director

Gentlemen,
For many years at Coni Marble we have had to contend with very cold offices and public showroom, with general discomfort during the winter months. When i saw your display at the London Convention Centre I felt your product would be the answer to providing warmer, more comfortable offices during the winter, as well as keeping the offices cooler in the summer.
Since installation of In'flector solar screens, my staff and I have seen a remarkable difference in comfort level already, due to elimination of drafts and infiltration of cold air.
I am certain we will also derive the benefit of cooler, more comfortable offices in the coming summer months.
With the performance of your product to date, and the promise of energy savings in the future, i would have no hesitation in recommending installation of In'flector solar panels to any firm interested in an increase in comfort levels with the resultant decrease in energy costs.
Yours Very Truly,

Dear Sirs,
This letter is in response to having had In'flector solar panels installed in our office on February 13, 1994.
Before our In'flector solar panels were installed we used to have to have two electric heaters going for heat because we had very drafty windows. Since the system was installed we no longer need those heaters!
The workmanship of your installers was very impressive and efficient. The panels fit perfectly and the appearance of the Iin'flector both inside and out is very visually appealing. Your installer was also able to make a few modifications according to our specifications with no visible alterations.
I am very impressed with the In'flector solar panels and would strongly recommend them to anyone interested in lowering their energy bills. I am also anticipating the results of In'flector solar panels when the warm weather is upon us.
Sincerely,

Dear John,
Just thought i'd write to you to tell you how delighted I was with the In'flector screens recently installed unlike most of your clients who are probably looking for energy conservation and a reduction in their power bills. I was looking for the privacy aspect that the In'flector provides. Instead of living in a 'fish bowl' I now am able to maintain my privacy and still have my drapes open. I really appreciate the "look" that it gives to my home. The windows appear "clean and shiny" and that's very important to me.
Your representative, Stan Snooks, was very kind, caring and competent and I admire that in sales people. I was treated fairly and well and the screens were delivered "on time".
Once again, allow me to express my gratitude and I know that when winter comes I will be able to see the insulation and draft prevention benefits of In'flector.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr Prezes,
Just a quick note of appreciation for your installation of the solar window system in our fitness centre. We are quite satisfied with its' performance.
Previously, we could not bring the temperature down lower than 82 degrees on a sunny day. With the In'flector panels, we no longer have a problem maintaining a temperature of 68 degrees.
As we had previously been considering installing another AC unit on the roof to this area, we are particularly thrilled that there is no operating cost with the In'flector panel.
Also, we are quite surprised to see how our windows become when the sun shines, as they are tinted high performance glazing.
The In'flector solar panel is a terrific alternative for any area in a building or home which needs either brute horsepower, or simply to enhance the existing HVAC system.
Yours Sincerely,
Glenn Branning, Manager, Facilities

Dear Mike,
I am writing to express appreciation for the In'flector screens that you installed in our church offices this December.
We have found a marked improvement in the warmth of the offices with the screens. As you know, Tim McDonald's office, which faces north, was always the worst. However, where he once endured cold breezes coming off his window, which is right above his desk, his office is much warmer and constant in temperature.
In the main office, there has been a marked reduction in the draft and cold air that once came from the window. The electric heat does not have to be turned up as much, and we experience more even heat.
With summer approaching, we are interested to see what effect the screens will have, in as much as our offices get the full sun in mid afternoon. By the end of the day they are often stifling hot. We will probably be in touch at a later date to let you know how the screens are affecting that situation.
We highly recommend the In'flector screens and feel they would be a great benefit to anyone who's looking for ways to reduce heating costs.
Sincerely,

Re: Installation Of Heat Control Panels
Dear Elie,
Thank you for your following up on the performance of your product. My impressions to date, which has now spanned two significant weather periods summer and winter, are very positive. The workmanship of the installation was very professional, especially the incorporating of the special molding to hide the velcro strips. Your staff either by policy or courtesy dropped by and assisted in the changeover from summer to winter exposure. This was helpful.
I am unable to address the cost savings of energy, since it is not possible for us to monitor such costs. However, this winter I have not required the use of a separate baseboard heater as was the case in previous winters. The constant summer sun east to west exposure was also not severe this past summer.
The biggest benefit I have derived from the use of this material is the opportunity to use the picture window in my office throughout the entire day without the use of special blinds. The view has not only been the benefit but also the additional lighting it has afforded.
There was some skepticism on my part at the discussion stage; however, that has completely dissipated through use.
Yours Truly,

Dear Mr Max Hart, Utility Test
We have had the In'flector screens in our store for over a year now and we find them most beneficial and have noticed several benefits.
In conjunction with Newfoundland Power, we performed a test on our twelve foot frozen food upright case to determine energy savings that would be provided by using the screens during the hours the store is closed. The test results indicated a dramatic reduction of kilowatts used with the screens installed during the night. The reduction in kilowatts is reported to reduce the operating costs on a twelve foot upright freezer unit by $20.00/week. With this kind of savings the screens would have paid for themselves in only nine months!
However, the screens have paid for themselves in less than a day. One day last summer, our store along with others in our area, suffered a mishap with the power lines outside causing a power outage for a full day. We kept the screens over our freezers to keep the food frozen for as long as possible. We never lost one package! Other stores were forced to throw away thousands of dollars worth of frozen food but ours remained frozen for the entire day.
Also, our compressors are not working as hard during the night. The screens do such an excellent job keeping the air cold inside, the compressors are not required to cut in as much. You can actually see the temperature hand dropping by the second when the screens are put on for the evening.
Another benefit we found was that our store was much warmer when we came in in the morning.
Max, this is truly a great product and you should be proud of it!
Yours Truly,
Paula Watkins, Store Manager

Re: In'flector Solar Screens
Dear Mr Prezes,
Installed on the business office windows as trial in july 1994, we have expanded the application of the In'flector Screens to our pharmacy and laboratory windows, where radiant heat build-up is a major concern.
The problem has been a constant and consistent one since the offices are located on the northwest side of the hospital, facing the afternoon sun.
Although we were skeptical at first, we have found that our staff is more comfortable. In fact, we have no need for drapes or blinds on these windows any longer. The performance of the product has exceeded my expectations.
The In'flector window insulators present us with a passive system of controlling temperatures exceeding 30 degrees c and may reduce the demand on current air conditioning and therefore save energy costs. Also, this installation is a component of the hospital-wide energy energy management program. Not only does it afford privacy to those areas where none existed before but it was easy to install.
Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending this product.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call my office.
Cordially,
Michael J Moreau, Manager Of Purchasing

Dear Mr. Hart,
Since we have had the in'flector panel system installed by your company late last spring, we have experienced a distinct advantage in keeping our solarium and restaurant cooler.
Previous to this we had received numerous customer complaints suggesting it is too hot in our solarium. These concerns
Have certainly lessened, if not disappeared.
We look forward to equally favorable results in the winter as you reverse the panels to help maintain a suitable heating environment.
Sincerely,
Tony Samuelson, Operations Supervisor

Mr. John Stuart, Ceo
In'flector Control Systems
Suite 216 Sunnyside Mall
Dear Mr Stuart,
My office, as you may recall, is 12 x 15 feet with one of the 12 ft walls all glass facing south. None of the windows was open. Because the air handling system for the room had not been designed with the large solar heating input in mind, the office temperature regularly reached 3o c by noon every day and stayed there until about 3 pm in the afternoon when the ventilation caught up.
The successful solution to this problem was three-fold. First, your installation of In'flector screens (shiny side out) reduced the room temperature swings (without any other changes) by 7 degrees c to a much more comfortable 23 c.
Then, by moving the air handling outlets from the inside corners of the room to just above the window, the slight warming of the In'flector screens themselves could escape in the exhaust air from the rooms. Finally, changes to the air handling programming have brought the room under complete control at my preferred 20 degrees c.
There is no doubt in my mind that without the In'flectors, my office would have remained intolerably warm even with the air handling adjustments. Closing the venetian blinds before the In'flectors were installed just resulted in hot blinds that convected heat into the room instead of radiating it out. And of course that also darkened the room. Now i leave the blinds horizontal and can see out. Although In'flectors are reversible for heat absorption, I have left them in reflective mode throughout the winter in perfect comfort.
Sincerely Yours.

Re: Phase Ii, Place Du Portage-Windows
In reviewing my files on an installation of your screening on the corner windows of the 4th floor, Phase II, I noted that I had not acknowledged the success of the solution.
In concert with Edmond Chiasson, Building Manager PGSWC, the corner window units on the 4th floor of phase II were noted last winter, during one of the most severe cold spells, being completely frosted over with a build-up of ice. In some areas the ice buildup appeared to be at least 1/8" thick. These areas are not accessible to rental use and are not heated. The resulting melting during milder weather could cause damage from the water and deterioration of the surrounding area.
In'flector control systems screening was placed across the corner windows. Heaters were initially placed to increase the thawing effect, but the results were only local. The windows were full height, extending from a sill height of two feet to the concrete slab of the floor above. After the area was totally sealed, as your system was designed, the frosting reduced to nil although the cold weather persisted.
This is remarkable in as much as no internal heat was necessary, and relied only on the effect of reflected sunlight to heat the area sufficient to remove frost and ice build-up.
I was pleased to be a part of this experiment and to assist Edmond Chiason in the successful solution to an aggravating problem!
I wish you and your company every success in the future.

To: Herb Extvnier
Subject: Energy Conservation Project
Herb…..Though I'd take a few moments while it is still relatively fresh in my mind, to reflect on the pilot energy conservation project using the in'flector screening technology.
1. The in'flector installation team left Barbados December 1, 1995, after 10 continuous days of full time work including weekends and a statutory holiday. At all times, the team was fully aware and considerate towards the operation of a Canadian mission abroad and the visiting public. They, plus their contracted local personnel,equally put forward a "face of Canada" through neatness, attention to clothing and constant clean-up. Considering this was the first time this installation team had worked overseas, they must be commended in their approach and equally their senstivity to our two HOMs and Chancery demands. They worked around us well.
2. The works involved over 110 panels in the atrium (90%) and the 2 floors of the eastern wing of the chancery (10%). Thewestern wing is well shaded with mahogany trees. The atrium is accessible some 12-16 meters above floor level via a steel lattice framework providing from 1/2 to 1 1/2 meters of head room for installation. It is glass with internal temperatures well over 40 c. Outside ambient is 30 c. This is all compounded by humidity as the atrium is not air conditioned. Installation occurred in what we would term the winter months for Barbados.
3 some immediate reflections on the installation itself are as follows:
A. It is important to note that a technology transfer mechanism for the mission had been built into the installation. The company directly involved mission property staff in the installation mechanics such that if a repair or additional screens are necessary, we will be able to scope the project, spec the material required and in fact install it. We have gained a good measure of self-sufficiency towards the maintenance of existing and future installation requirements. This objective was met by In'flector and we believe at no additional cost to the just completed work.

Dear Mr Roberts,
The Harris County Facilities and Property Management Department has the task of managing 125 county facilities including the utility cost and energy efficiency improvements for Harris County, Texas. In that task, i have the opportunity to conduct tests of various energy efficient products of many companies.
One of the tests this year was regarding your In'flector window insulators. The county had the panels installed in one of the administrative conference rooms with six windows facing north and west. The windows allowed quite a bit of solar and radiant heat gain before the panels were installed. At the end of a two month test, it was apparent that the panels did help reduce the solar and radiant heat gain. I can see some practical applications where these panels would benefit many selected facilities in reducing solar heat gain. The In'flector window insulators seem to provide another practical option to reduce facility operating costs while providing greater occupant comfort.
I hope to identify some optimum locations before next year for some possible further tests and installations.
Very Truly Yours,
Tom Warren, Facilities Administrator

Dear Sam,
When you introduced me to the In'flector window insulators, I immediately knew that the united states government and especially the U.S. Army would be an ideal customer.
As you are already aware, energy conservation has recently become very important to the government and more specifically military facilities in extreme climates. Due to the fact that i was already doing business with them on several other initiatives that were slightly less effective than the In'flector. I knew that your product would make an excellent impression on both the people in charge of purchasing but more importantly the people who were working the buildings where we installed,
Ever since we have completed the initial installation for the U.S. Army at Fort Huachuca in Arizona, the army has enjoyed both increased comfort level for their personnel but just as importantly marked energy usage reduction.
As a direct result of this initial buildings success, iIhave already been asked to present proposals for four (4) more buildings in January of 2005.
In summary, Advantage Window Systems, Inc., has a unique product that has a marked impact on the buildings where it is
installed, regardless of whether the site is cold or hot, and when coupled with ever increasing energy costs, Artemis Advisor looks forward to growing our business with your company.
Sincerely,

Installation Of Window Insulation Panels:
1. The Bedford N.S. branch of In'flector Control Systems Inc installed insulator panels on the windows of the Harbour Control office and office 4318 on 14 July 1994. 33 o f 41 panels were fitted within one working day while the remaining 8 panels, requiring minor adjustment, were fitted 27 July.
2. Effectiveness of screens is exceptional. In working spaces where temperature frequently exceeded the thermometer limit of 30 degrees c by 0900 on any sunny day the effect of the screens was obvious even as they were being installed! Internal temperature now hovers at a comfortable 23-24 degrees c even in the exceptional temperatures persistent through July.
3. The entire open concept office area of GHM has benefitted significantly, primarily because the central air Conditioning system is now capable of performing its task.
4. Vertical blinds have been removed as unnecessary
5. For the Harbour Control windows the panels are reported to provide R14 equivalent insulation. It is fully expected that, in the winter, season, this performance will eliminate the constant battle with the frost and condensation on the window interiors and permit removal of electric space heaters.
6. So dramatic is the improvement that a cf141 has been submitted to install In'flector panels on the remaining south-facing windows of GHM spaces and a Defence 200 initiative has been submitted.
7. BCEO and staff, with any skeptics, are cordially invited to visit, the new, comfortable Harbour Control office. Not only are working conditions comfortable but the energy savings on reduced air conditioning. heating demands are probably significant.

Re; Energy Savings For In'flector Control Systems: Rcmp Canadian Police College
Dear Jeff:
We have reviewed the Haisall's Report on the In'flector system installation at RCMP Canadian In'flector Systems given the amount police college. We feel it would be difficult to accurately show energy savings attributable to the continuous change going on at the facility. We would recommend extrapolating the limited results of the Haisall Report that show the product is saving energy. These results do not include savings achieved in April, May, and September through November.
There are many activities that make it difficult to determine savings. These are some of the more significant: the work done in the winter on the roof of the "c" building-the addition of plug load (primarily added computers)-the added summer use because of courses run during July and August.
Based on the savings calculated for January and February 1995, with only 23% of subject buildings being recipients of the In'flector systems, calculations have determined savings of $5,400.00. If one assumed that under normal circumstances the savings for March and December 1995 would be similar, the projection would be a further 10% savings for these months, adding $4,300.00 in heating savings, for a total of $9.,700.00. With the remaining 75% of windows fitted with in'flector, it is projected that $3,880.00 in savings could be achieved under normal operating conditions. This calculation assumes no heating requirements in November or April, which is a very conservative assumption. In addition, a calculation of 30% reduction in cooling costs for the months of June, July, and August 1995. At this stage only 50% of the subject buildings had the In'flector system installed, generating $2,452.00 in actual savings.
it is assumed that once the remaining 50% of the windows were fitted with In'flector, under normal operating conditions, the projected cooling savings would be $4,900.00. Again the shoulder months of May and September 1995 are not included in these calculations.
Extrapolating the numbers found in the Haisall Report would indicated an annual savings of around $43,700.00

Dear Mr Hamel,
Thank you for the literature you sent us on the In'flector solar screen. From this information, an energy analyst from our energy management branch determined that there is a potential for substantial energy savings with your product.……based on the principles of operation.
In regards to your inquiry on whether or not your device would be suitable for any Ontario Hyrdro incentives, we are pleased to inform you that there is in fact a program that may be applicable to your needs. The program is called "savings by design" (see enclosure). As the energy savings benefit to Ontario Hyrdo depends on a number of variables, the actual incentive must be determined on a case by case basis.
Thank you again for providing us information on your innovative product.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Jacobs-Coordinator
