Why are Cellular shades considered green?
One of the best ways to help our environment is to reduce energy waste. Using fewer resources to heat or cool your home reduces your carbon footprint. In many areas of the country, including from Vermont to Washington DC every shade that you install in your home will save you about $15/sq ft of glass covered in heating costs. Think of how much that saves in energy consumption! According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development 80-85% of the total energy consumption and CO2 emissions of a building comes from the occupants heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water use. Cellular shades curb that consumption.
