Hello!

We're looking for ways to up the energy efficiency of our building. We've looked at the typical options, but we are also exploring some more unconventional routes. We happened upon a product named Sketchnanogard, a window insulator that claims to drastically change window heat gain/loss.

What can you tell me about it? Worth the investment?

Hi there,

If you mean this product for thermally coating glass our sister organisation Ecohabitation in Montreal have a good experience of keeping offices cooler in summer and warmer in winter by treating their existing windows with this product - watch out for a future article and review coming soon by signing up for free Ecohome membership here if you didn't already. Thanks!
