Keeping Heat Where It Belongs

Windows are “Energy Black Holes”

35% of the energy consumed by Americans is used to heat and cool

their homes.

40+% of the energy meant to heat and cool our homes is lost through our windows.

Traditional Methods of Saving Energy

Window replacements It’s very expensive and ONLY provides an R-value 3.3 at BEST Insulation in your attic Its also expensive, labor intensive, and not a task for the elderly Caulk around windows and doors Little improvement, labor intensive, and not a task for the elderly Install a wood, coal, or pellet stove Also expensive averaging $2,500 plus the cost of fuel and labor Kerosene Heaters Emits odor, messy, and provides little heat for one room Turn DOWN the thermostat and Bundle Up Its still cold and uncomfortable to wear multiple layers of clothing

Turning down the thermostat is the choice most people make to try and save energy UNTIL NOW

What Is The Energy Cinch ?

It’s a simple, yet highly effective window treatment that controls thermal heat.

Controlling thermal heat significantly lowers energy consumption.

The result is an immediate and dramatic level of comfort and savings on consumers’ energy bill.

Energy Cinch traps heat where it belongs: * In during the winter and out during the summer * Keeping you and your home comfortable all year around

Energy Cinch has a Certified R-value of 7.69

Why Is Energy Cinch So Effective ?

Conduction is reduced by trapped air spaces between the fibers and layers of the insulated fabric.

Air Leakage is reduced by the impervious polyethylene. Radiation is reduced by the reflective Mylar which reflects radiant heat

back into a home in the winter and also reflects away solar gain in the summer.

And Convection: Warm air always moves to cool air. During the winter, heated

air is drawn towards the cold window glass. Once the air hits the glass it is immediately cooled and drops to the floor. This cool air now needs to be reheated only to rise and be attracted back to the cold window glass. This cycle is called a “Convective Loop” that costs homeowners hundreds of dollars each year.

Energy Cinch Material Testing

Energy Cinch Testing was conducted by Architectural Testing Inc (ATI). The Department of Energy considers ATI one of the best energy savings product testing laboratories in the USA.

Test Results United States Patent 4,397,346 revealed: A properly constructed and installed Roman shade was tested by Architectural Testing Inc

of York, PA., in accordance with standards in ASTM G236. During the test conditions, the interior temperature of the room was approximately 68 degrees F, (20 degrees C.) The exterior temperature was approximately 18 degrees F, (- 8 degrees C.) The outside wind velocity was approximately fifteen miles per hour. The Roman shade was installed over a wood frame, double hung sash window having single glazing. A three inch (7.62 cm) air space was provided between the glazing and the shade. The insulating factor ( R ), that is, the resistance to heat flow, was measured to be about 7.69 for this window shade. Thus, a single inexpensive means is available to increase greatly the insulative capacity of a window. Up to about eighty-three percent improvement can be made in window heat loss. Although the insulating factor of 7.69 will not be achievable in all conditions, it is obvious that a substantial improvement is available with the simple shade of this invention. An insulating factor ( R ) of at least about 7.00 or 7.50 should be easily obtainable.

Energy Cinch Advantages

Reduces heat and air conditioning loss Has the highest R-value of any window treatment available Cuts OFF the Convective Loop adding to the R-value Provides more comfort while saving you money Lets you take control of your costs and provides privacy Installs or uninstalls in seconds Will not deface walls or window casings Washable Provides the best insulation R-value for the cost Can be used by itself or augments existing window treatments Install one window or one room at a time

Different Delivery Systems Available

The “Roman Shade” F / R (Fire Retardant) treated Widths up to 120 inches (10 feet wide) Choose facing material from a wide selection or your pick your own Attached to the top panel of the window casing Roman Shade draw string to raise and lower Washable

The “Quick & Simple” No hardware to install and no tools needed Will not deface walls or window casings Washable Widths up to 48 inches (4 feet wide) Can be F / R (Fire Retardant) treated

Easy Instructions … Simple as 1- 2- 3

The “Roman Shade” 1) Attach top of Energy Cinch to inside top of window casing 2) Attach draw string mounting to wall adjacent to window 3) Insert tension rod into bottom of the window casing

The “Quick & Simple” 1) Insert tension rods in the pockets at each end of the fabric 2) Adjust tension rods without bending, so they fit snugly into the top and bottom of the window casing 3) Allow from 1 - 3 inches between the material and the glass

Nothing could be easier than that …

Product uniqueness includes: *** R-value 7.69 *** Closes Off the Convective Loop

Solid and Quick Return On Investment

Documented ROI Example

With 56 windows on one floor With a great room measuring 20 feet x 60 feet With cathedral ceilings In an all electric Northern Connecticut home With a monthly energy bill of $850+ In the FIRST month of partial implementation (Only installing on 22 of the 56 windows) The energy consumption decreased by 38%Question: Where can you find that ROI in month-1?

Problem with Other Methods

Curtains, drapes, shades and blinds do not stop the convective loop. Heated air is still able to reach the window glass around the sides, and pulled in through the top and the bottom of the window treatment.

The patent-pending installation delivery system of the Energy Cinch seals both the top and the bottom of the window casing and can be tautly adjusted to keep the sides in place touching both sides of the window casing.

With the Energy Cinch the “Convective Loop” is stopped and Cut-Off.
