Being Energy-Efficient
Untreated or poorly treated windows can lose 30% or more of a room’s heating and cooling energy. And with all the heat we get here in Arizona, especially in the summer, it’s a good idea to try to keep as much of the cold air in our homes and the savings in our pockets as possible. Hunter Douglas is well-known for its energy-efficient treatments. In fact, the Attachments Energy Rating Council (AERC) chose Hunter Douglas as the first receive their verified energy rating and certification for interior window coverings. You can use the AERC ratings to compare window coverings among the Hunter Douglas line as well as those from competitors.
AERC-Certified Hunter Douglas Products:

In fact, the Duette® Architella® honeycomb shades, with their revolutionary cell-within-a-cell construction, reduce unwanted solar heat up to 80% in the summer and cut heat loss at the window up to 40% in the winter.
