Illustrative only. The model takes your annual energy spend, assumes about 60 percent goes to heating and cooling (space heating is around 60 percent of a typical Canadian home’s energy use per Natural Resources Canada, and Edmonton’s cold climate is heating-dominant, with cooling a small seasonal add), and applies a 10 percent lever for manual insulating shades and a 25 percent lever for automated insulating shades. The 10 percent figure reflects U.S. Department of Energy cellular shade guidance; the 25 percent figure is from a 2023 Illinois Institute of Technology study on automated insulating shades. Heating savings require insulating cellular shades, not plain rollers. Automated savings reflect Hunter Douglas PowerView® scheduled operation, which is app-dependent. Rates are held flat, so with Alberta’s rising energy prices the real value is likely higher. Actual results vary by home, fabric, exposure, and use. This is an estimate, not a guarantee.
