When the evidence makes compelling reading, it is so much easier to justify the investment.That is precisely what the IR window company, IRISS, is proving with its latest introduction.It’s a simple to use, return-on-investment calculator that factors in every cost involved in running a preventative thermal imaging programme, with and without the benefit of infrared windows.And in virtually every case, the outcome prompts a sharp intake of breath as the cost saving potential over time is huge.

Now freely available by visiting www.iriss.com, this clever calculator includes every consideration.Created in Microsoft Excel, the sections cover survey data input, IR window cost benefit analysis, installation cost estimate and, the all important comparison analysis.It’s comprehensive and takes a little time to complete but the results are available instantly.The cost savings are clear, in black and white.

The typical example shown confirms savings from day one. Patrick Christie, IRISS Sales Manager for EMEA explains: Within just one inspection, customers inevitably cover the outlay for buying and fitting windows.And the savings are even more impressive when IR windows allow the frequency of inspection to be increased.Over a five year cost analysis, that compares an annual inspection cycle to more frequent inspections, a saving of over 350% is projected.
