GSA Top Administrator Martha Johnson, while speaking recently at the White House Clean Energy Economy Forum on Federal Leadership and High Performing Sustainable Buildings, has committed the agency to a goal of Zero Environmental Footprint. Windows are the greatest source of wasted energy in any facility.

That is because heat moves from warm to cold areas.

Government studies confirm that in most cases, energy efficient solar shades are the most effective way to reduce utility costs.

GSA Top Administrator Martha Johnson, while speaking recently at the White House Clean Energy Economy Forum on Federal Leadership and High Performing Sustainable Buildings, has committed the agency to "Go Green", with a goal of a Zero Environmental Footprint. GSA projects are to achieve at least a LEED Gold certification.

Window Interiors has developed a superior line of energy efficient window shades designed to enable projects to achieve the LEED Gold certification. Our sustainable, custom, handcrafted WI Solar Shades act as a barrier to heat flow, trapping air between the shade and the window, often reducing a space's temperature by 15-25% - therefore saving money on energy costs.
