Family Li Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, China, 53GII The Family Li Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, Shanghai, is located at the famous Huangpu Park, Shanghai Bund. It started its business on 27th June 2006. Located at the Shanghai Bund, the intense sunlight penetrated directly through the skylight of the restaurant. Ambient temperature within the restaurant during the noon-time would hit approximately 41 Degree Celsius. This does not augur well for business during lunch hour. The management invited air-conditioning experts, window-film specialists and energy-savings’ companies to solve the heat problem. After presenting to the management with heat demo kits, energy audit and presentation, the management had selected IQue’s anchor product, 53GII to solve its heat problem. After installing 53GII, the energy consumption of the restaurant was significantly reduced. New restaurants on the bund even flocked to the site to find out how the heat problem was resolved.
McDonald’s, Hong Kong, 73FG McDonald’s restaurants in Hong Kong wanted to install window-coating films that were able to cut off maximum heat while maintaining the original glass appearance in their respective outlet. 73FG was chosen due to its high visible light transmission at 70% and its high infra-red and ultra-violet rejection at 94% and 99% respectively. Several outlets were hence installed with 73FG, with more outlets to be in the pipeline of installation. The end result is a cooler and comfortable environment for McDonald’s customers.
KFC Restaurants , Philippines , 73FG The Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) food chain is well established in Philippines, with 82 stores spanning across the country. In order to create a greater spatial space, many of the restaurants have glass facades. However, this also meant that during certain periods of the day, intense heat and glare could penetrate into the restaurant, resulting in discomfort. In addition, high air-conditioning load was also another key concern. To reduce the heat loads and high electricity charges, KFC had chosen 73FG, which would retain the clarity of the glass, yet minimizing the amount of heat gain. The effect of 73FG had been well received. The KFC restaurant managers' opined that electrical bills have been reduced by at least 20%. Customers were also able to dine in a cool and comfortable environment.
