When we took over The Studio Center building and changed its name to Sacramento Media Center, we knew that was not going to be enough to make our TV/Film studio a nice place to work.  The building itself was structurally sound, and we had plenty of electricity to make the place operational. A new coat of paint was easy, and most of the trash was hauled away.  The real challenge was dealing with harsh temperatures that come with having a business in Sacramento as its cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The good news is we found some solutions that not only do a fantastic job but makes our studio very comfortable.  
Because we are so excited about our upgrades, we wanted to share our story in three parts. 
Our first upgrade was to apply Warehouse Foil on the inside of our ceiling. The material is a single-sided radiant barrier foil that reflects 97% of radiant heat from the foil side and has a white vinyl on the second side for aesthetic purposes. When the sun's radiant energy hit's our roof, the foil reflects the infrared energy (heat) away from the building. To test the effectiveness of this covering, we used a laser temperature reader and saw a ​25 degree difference in heat reduction. When it's 105 outside, our warehouse will be in the cool 80's and 90's, and that's with out generating any airflow.

Before we took the temperature readings, our resident handyman Odin Abbott, told us he could feel the difference when applying the foil to the ceiling. It was pretty easy install with an air-tool staple-gun and our trusty scissor-lift. Of course, sore muscles after the job couldn't be avoided but the results were worth it!
