Özet

Aimed Contribution—Fuel economy via car window film implementation will also reduce vehicle-sourced emissions,

health and welfare impacts associated with those emissions; thus, contribute to the economy. Focused Problem—During summer, solar

irradiation heats up the car and Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) usage becomes essential. Moreover, MAC usage raises the fuel

consumption and vehicle emissions. Eventually, imported energy sources for MAC and vehicle emissions lead global economic and

health impacts. Proposed Solution—For a parked car under blazing sun in summer, car window film application limits the entrapped

radiation in car cabin and reduces peak cabin temperature. Hence, MAC energy consumption will be reduced. Under consideration of

film implementation costs, it is seen that MAC energy savings for diesel, gasoline and hybrid cars still contribute to the economy.

Research Perspective—The physical and economic effects of several car window film and tinting applications are researched. Clear

and tinted rear and side windows covered with three unique film types separately and analyzed for a parked passenger car with clear and

20 % shaded windshield. The overall impact in WA, NY, NC, USA and Istanbul, Turkey is also examined. Results—Regarding USA

and Istanbul, the widespread deployment of the best possibility has potential to decrease the sum of diesel and gasoline fuel

consumption by 1.7 and 0.06 billion liters, reduce the passenger car sourced total vehicle emissions by 10.5 and 0.4 billion kg and

contribute to the economy by 5-year net savings of 21.3 and 1.4 billion $, respectively.
