Texas Citizens Bank, is a boutique private bank in the Houston area with six locations. Employees of all six free standing structures complained of the high exposure to the western sun. This resulted in all locations closing their blinds on the western facing walls, which is a security risk for financial institutions. To improve comfort from the heat and enhance visibility from the suns glare, Texas Citizens Bank turned to EES Consulting, an energy efficiency solutions firm that provides turn-key energy efficiency and sustainability solutions to one and two story light commercial and industrial businesses. EES Consulting assessed Texas Citizens Bank’s buildings firsthand, and then implemented energy efficient solutions in several locations.
A Customized Solution
As part of the customized solution EES Consulting recommended, was the installation of energy efficient Huper Optik Ceramic 40 Window Film on the banks western facing windows. The resulting financial benefits of this solution were twofold, reducing costs in kilowatts per hour and a reduction in the heat load on the HVAC unit increases the lifetime of the equipment. The less heat that penetrates the banks’ windows, the less work and energy the HVAC unit will have to do to keep each building cool.
Big savings
Before the implementation of EES Consulting’s customized solutions, Texas Citizens Bank was consuming an average of 9,596 kWh per month. After the window film installation improvement, the bank averaged 8,061kWh, a 16 percent decrease for a cost savings of over $1,800.
Mike Cornett, President and Organizing Director, was extremely pleased with EES Consulting’s professionalism, and has recommended EES to many of the bank’s clients.
“The air conditioning units were running full steam ahead prior to the filming just to maintain a comfortable temperature in the lobby and in the offices with western sun exposure,” said Cornett. “We were able to throttle those thermostats back and keep it on a normal temperature. It has just helped out immensely.”
“Without fail, every one of the clients that we’ve referred EES to have been very pleased with them,” he said.
Energy efficiency improvements can positively impact business’ financials. However, in this case that was just a bonus. Mike’s primary goal for the energy efficiency improvements were to make his bank more comfortable for his customers and employees. After the installation, the banks were able to turn their thermostats to a normal temperature without worrying the heat coming in through the windows.
By working with EES Consulting, Texas Citizens Bank was able to reduce costs, increase comfort, improve the customer experience and diminish their impact on the environment.

EES Consulting’s Dan Parsley demonstrates on the morning news how much heat Huper Optik Window Film stops from coming into your home or office. This is just one of a few ways Dan demonstrates of how to help cut electricity costs.
The suns heat can get into your home via bad insulation, the spaces around and under your doors, doggy doors etc., but most of the suns heat gets into your home or office through your windows. Huper Optik Solar Films (window tint) can cut up to 70% of that heat (eg. in the video 300 BTUs to 28 BTUs) saving you money on your energy bills.
We welcome Tubelite that has taken over the Southeast territory and now covers from Florida up to Virginia. They have warehouses in Charlotte, Birmingham and the greater Orlando area.
“Tubelite has given us an arm that we needed to further service our dealers. Their 80 year old history and distribution experience will add a lot of value to both Huper Optik USA and the dealers in their areas”, said Harry Rahman.
A reminder to all the southeast dealers (LA, AL, MS, GA, SC, NC, TN,KY, VA,WV) to get your Consent to Transfer Account Information paperwork into us so that you can enjoy a seamless transition to purchasing from Tubelite.
Over the next 18 months Huper Optik will be making a transition to its new logos. We will have 2 logos, one for auto and the other for flat glass. The difference between the 2 logos will be the auto will have the rhino associated to it and the flat glass will not. The old logo can be used throughout the transition. If you are interested in using the new logo, please email Dwayne O’Brien.
The Rhino logo and attributes came from a marketing and research company that associated the toughness of the rhino with our multi-layer ceramic films.
For flat glass we chose not to use the rhino as it is not appropriate in residential and commercial applications. We will still use the new font as you will see above.

Huper Optik USA has opted for national meetings every other year with regional meetings in the years in between. Due to the successful participation we had in our regional meeting in early 2015, we will be having regional breakouts at our national meeting as well.

The Coop and Rebate programs have been revamped as they were not being utilized. The new program makes participation very easy. Please ask your distributor for details so you can maximize these programs.
The MAP Program and how to get help from Hüper Optik USA for your commercial projects was a key part of the meeting. “In a time when manufacturers look to bypass the dealer on the dealers’ projects and go directly to the commercial customer, our MAP program does the exact opposite; it adds the values a dealer will need while giving the dealer the added security that they will not be bypassed” quoted John Yard, VP of National Sales.
The technical presentation, always a dealer favorite, focused on the claims of the “Ceramic” debate and how nearly every manufacturer has tried to somehow claim a ceramic film. Even companies that have had “ceramic films” are now claiming to come out with Hüper- like ceramics. This only shows how you, our dealers, are continuing to win against the competition. The technical session also focused on the growing segment of the Therm-x films for flat glass and Xtreme films for the auto market and their respective advantages.
Sales Book was introduced.
Please contact your distributor if you would like details on any of the above.
You have asked us to look into this issue, so we have a quick update on the application of window film on surface # 4 that has coatings on it. This is the inner most surface of a dual pane unit that comes in contact with us from the interior. The outer most surface is number 1. (this is the surface you touch from the outside of the home).
There are various coatings that exist, two of the most common are self-cleaning coatings and low e coatings (which can be hard coat or soft coat). As of today Huper Optik does not recommend/warranty any of our films on coatings on surface 4 due to the potential damage of these coatings as well as potentially hurting the performance of these low e coatings. This combined with any removal of the film for warranty or other reasons may result in damage.
Exterior films are an option for these applications.
Here are some EDTM meters that can be used to detect these coatings:
RX 1550 – $399
– The best coatings detector is the RX 1550
– can detect low e and self-cleaning coatings
Low E Etekt AE 1601 – $199
– can detect low e coatings
Glass Check Pro GC 3000 – $999 (surface 1)
– can tell glass thickness and low e coatings
– A more complete meter but not for coatings alone
On some of the meters when detecting the coatings, the surface numbers are reversed as the meter thinks that the surface that the meter is touching is actually surface 1 .Keep this in mind to make sure you understand that this is reversed when you are placing the meter on surface 4.
