Gordon's and the White House

Gordon's Window Decor is pushing to get EcoSmart shades in the Oval Office. Obama is planning on coming to Vermont soon and we're going to try to convince him to take some EcoSmart shades home with him. We think they are good enough for Obama, but are they good enough for you?

Come to our showroom in Essex, Vermont, and find out for yourself! You'll be met with an experienced, professional sales team and multiple rooms filled with the latest in window treatment technology. Stop by today!

Gordon's Window Decor is featured in the latest issue (5/13/09) of Seven Days. Check out the article here: http://www.7dvt.com/2009pane-relievers , or read it on page 36 of the paper.

Drop by our showroom in Essex to meet the one-and-only Joan Sheeran, a 16-year Gordon's vet who can "speak energy efficiency like a scientist and 'soft goods' like a decorator," according to Seven Days' reporter Pamela Polston.

Stats on Ecosmart window shades

On May 11th, Gordon Clements, founder of Gordon's Window Decor, presented to about 25 members of Efficiency Vermont about the energy-saving benefits of cellular shades.  Here are some noteworthy facts from the presentation:

• Residential homes account for 21% of all US energy consumption (Berkeley Labs)
• 50% of heating & cooling energy is due to heat gain or loss through windows (Energy Star)
• Energy efficient window treatments can cut this loss by as much as 50% (Hunter Douglas)

Harvard was unsure if the upgrade to insulating shades was worth it, so their Real Estate Services department did some experimenting.  They found that the thermostat was set at an average of 68 degrees in units with traditional mini-blinds installed.  In units with cellular shades installed, the thermostat averaged 48 degrees.  The cellular shades conserved enough energy to make a 20 degree difference on the thermostat.  

Register for our first ever Webinar tomorrow from 11AM-11:30AM!  In a short half-hour, you'll be able to learn how to make your home more energy efficient, and at the end, you'll be able to ask Gordon questions!  10 people have signed up already, so you won't be participating alone.  Sign up at:https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/588354244
