B-Roll Video Posted on You Tube!
Awnings Today The B-Roll video produced last fall has been distributed to the media and was posted to You Tube this week!!

It can be seen here. It can also be found on the YouTube homepage by searching a few different phrases (i.e. awnings, home upgrades). The video features an interview with John Carmody, Directory of the Center for Sustainable Building Research at the University of Minnesota, discussing the Awning Energy Study, Awnings in Residential Buildings: The Impact on Energy Use and Peak Demand.

It also features PAMA Member and Awnings Today participant Gary Buermann of G & J Awning discussing the benefits of using awnings on the home, and some of the attractive features of modern awnings including a wide selection of fabrics and remote controls.

One of the key strategies for Year Two of the Awnings Today campaign was to take advantage of Internet tools to promote awnings and awning benefits. The posting on You Tube is evidence that we are doing just that, and that our campaign is successful in reaching millions of viewers nationwide. The posting on You Tube is a milestone for IFAI/PAMA.
