If you are old and do not want your windows to keep an appropriate work, the heat inside your home in winter (or hold it in hot weather), may consider it’s time to be provided with new energy efficient windows, but also new window , particularly of energy-efficient and good quality, can be prohibitive. This means it may take some time for them to pay for itself in energy savings. For the amount of money would you pay to replace the windows wide in a room, you can almost the same energy savings with simple weather stripping and energy-efficient window coverings will eliminate heat transfer between your home and outside.

Windows or reduce the air by convection between a room and outside, blocking the heat through the window with the air flow. . A leaky window or one of the cracks in broken glass or cement, so that air through these openings so that the heat released in the winter and sneaks in the heat in hot weather.

If you put curtains on the window to the heat transfer by reduce heat transfer, you must consider the convection currents in the room. Warm air rises and falls cold air when you items please ensure that air flows must install block, preferably the top and bottom of the curtain or blind. Otherwise, cold weather, the cold window to drop the air between the window and curtains cool, and the cold air on the ground, the warm air above the window for the current in front of the window one cycle. In the summer, the flow in the opposite direction, with the air curtain between the window and warming rays of the sun, it flows from top opening and drawing cold air in the glass, where it is heated.

You can change the air flow to the window to hunt with the wall stop above and below, or contact with the ground floor and the closure in the region curtain rod above.

If you fabric shades that cover a portion of the window, you can have Velcro strips on the sides of the shade when you use a Velcro tape on the window frame;. This complete isolation of the air layer between the window and blinds, provides excellent protection fabric insulation blinds and curtains can a similar technique, but with a magnetic stripe in the fabric and metal along the frame so that the curtains may stick to the walls on both sides and below the opening.

other method you try adding an insulation barrier heat conduction through the window, the cellular shades that are made in a honeycomb or cellular portion Buy or different colors, a cavity contained in the interior of the blind (eg, air-foil shaped blinds). Cellular blinds once retracted take up almost no space, and the cells are empty, if extended, they can add insulating value of R-2 (for blind, single-cell) to R-5 (for the double-cell)

Blinds can help solve the third type of heat transfer, radiation, heat radiating through the glass of the window preventing (the house of the sun in summer and the heat radiating from inside the winter semester). blinds the most effective use of light, reflected colors on the outside so that sunlight is more or less completely away from the room reflected. Good blinds enough solar energy reflected away to reduce the window heat transfer up to 45 %, but they do very little R-value of the window, so little effect in winter.

blinds, a spring mechanism and can be pulled up or down (we used to these young blinds when I was called) is a good barrier against radiation and also a good insulation, reduce the flow of convection air are around the windows, the loss of the cable through the window or frame. blinds, because they are placed so close to the glass, are better at reducing convection, especially if their sides and bottom of the window frames are attached (eg using secondary title). unsecured shades can reduce heat exchange by almost 28%, while guaranteeing board cut varieties up to 45%. shader can be reversed with a dark side and light on the other, are ideal because of the light side, the heat where you want to reflect (in the summer outdoors, indoors in winter).

awnings and overhangs are a great way to want to direct sunlight enter a room and warm cut in the summer. As the angle of the sun is low in winter, these decorations window that the sun blocking ‘t, so that the low winter sun angle heat your house

windows in many old houses found – up to 50% more efficient than simply assuming glazed window, that the storms are in a draft to seal So if the old wood-framed storms sitting around your basement or garage. You need in the fall and winter bring to a halt. is if you have aluminum framed storm, you can usually they can be all year, just remember to close windows in winter

Windows a small percentage of area of a house, but they are. one of the largest potential sources of energy waste in a house is heated or air conditioning. It is important to do something that you, the heat transfer by convection, conduction and radiation. Remember, part of the minimize the money you save on utility bills Reserve lowered, follow the worn any way you can, replace leaky windows with new energy-efficient when the time comes.
