1. Buck Up Those Windows
Windows invite you to heat loss. But unless you want to live in a House with no outside light at all, they are an important part of your home environment. so what do you do?
First, you have more options today than ever are Windows Panel double, triple same panel are Windows filled with inert gas.Exist during low (low-E) coatings for Windows that are virtually invisible and suppress the radiant heat loss.There is no window frames with isolation.
In General, you can reduce heat loss in your home as 75%.
You do not need to change all your Windows at the same time.I want to change some annually to minimize installation costs while still reaping the benefits that you go.
2. floor tile usage
On the southern side of the House, where the Sun is more prevalent, consider changing carpet or coating for vinyl tiles stones. These will absorb and hold heat after the sun sets. Moreover, if you have a back porch or patio on the South side of the House is well worth using rock or stone floor in the area for additional heat retention.
3. Invite the Sun in
Use whenever possible the light natural sunlight until home. the more you reduce the use of artificial light, the more you will save on your electricity bill, which in turn benefits the environment; this not only applies to Windows, but consider skylights, light shelves and a lobby also. open your home to the Sun!
4. Passive Cooling
If you live in a hot climate, then you probably want to take advantage of passive cooling, which is simply a fancy way of saying ... using these shades, blinds and add some cool vegetation around the outside of the House. in other words ... not invite the Sun!
