About 40% of unwanted heat that enters the home comes through your windows, making them the number one source of heat gain. Windows are also notorious for air leaks and poor insulation. Replacing windows with high-quality storm windows can cost thousands of dollars. Relocating windows to take more advantage of solar heat gain and passive cooling is also very expensive. Fortunately, there are other ways you can increase home comfort and lower energy bills. Our team at Boerne Air Conditioning Experts can help you learn how to make your windows energy producers, not energy liabilities. First, we suggest that you inspect your windows and seal air leaks. Weatherize your windows with caulk and weather-stripping. Sealing your windows helps protect your home from summer heat and winter cold. It also helps keep your conditioned air inside the home. Outside air can infiltrate your home in many areas besides your windows, such as doors, walls, and where utilities enter the building.
Some additional passive heating and cooling strategies include installing reflective window coatings, maximizing exterior shade, maximizing interior shade, positioning windows and openings on opposite walls to enhance air movement and cross ventilation, and planting trees in the right places to provide summer shade and winter windbreaks. By using these passive cooling and heating window strategies, you will substantially cut your use of the heating and cooling system. Still, the best way to create a green and energy-efficient home is to integrate passive (non-mechanical) heating and cooling strategies with active (mechanical) systems, such as your heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and duct system.
