11. It might help some, and might help more if applied to the outside

I've only skimmed (time), but this is interesting.

If applied inside, there would be some reflection off the outside (sky, clouds) but it would seem dulled due to the back scatter from the inside film. That would probably reduce bird strikes significantly.

If applied to the outside, I think it would eliminate reflections and bird strikes would be dramatically reduced, perhaps close to zero.

But I do not see it being applied over all windows on office towers. An idea would be to apply it on all but leave a clear band from
4 1/2 to 6 feet high. Residential towers might do that too, except perhaps for one window per unit completely clear for people to sit and admire views.
