Energy Savings - Duette Architella:

Duette Architella has been certified as a Green product because of its energy saving efficiency.  This shade takes energy conservation to a whole new level.  The patented honeycomb -within- a- honeycomb design forms three air pockets to dramatically reduce heat flow at the window.  According to a Hunter Douglas publication - "If installed in every window of every American home, these shades have the potential to cut our annual energy consumption by 2-1/2%.  That may not sound like much, but it's the equivalent of a 33% increase in fuel mileage for all passenger cars on U.S. roads - which would save about 450 million barrels of oil annually and reduce CO2 emissions by almost 200 million tons!"  With global warming becoming more of a problem we can make a difference by buying and installing these energy saving shades.

On top of all the energy saving benefits you could be eligible to receive a tax credit of 30% of the cost, up to a $500.00 federal tax credit if you have purchased Hunter Douglas' Duette Architella shades,  please check with your tax advisor.   This tax credit was included in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a stimulus bill that includes federal tax credits on selected energy efficient products purchased during 2011.  Hurry, product must be purchased before the end of this year to be eligible for this tax savings.
