Reduce Heat Loss from Windows in Winter & Reduce Heat Gain in SummerIt is important to have good, attractive and energy efficient windows. Replacing existing windows is a difficult decision, since new windows can be expensive. However, there are some less costly measures that can be easily implemented. First, check to see if there are any leaks around the windows that can be sealed or any other repairs that can be made. Then, a very effective measure is to close the curtains at night and open them during the day in the winter (particularly on the south side) to let in the winter sun. In the summer, close curtains during the day (particularly on south and west facing windows) to reduce heat gain by reflecting heat away from the home. Although closing and opening the drapes is an effective energy technique, it can be cumbersome to do on a daily basis.
