movable window insulation for 14 large windows
Hi all,
I have a passive solar (not passiv haus)house in North Texas that works very well most of the time. It is efficient in the summer and also quite comfortable in the winter when its sunny or outside temps are above 40.
I don’t have an energy bill. I always make enough power from pv that I have a negative energy bill.
however, when temps dip below freezing and its not sunny, then it can be quite cold due to the almost 400 sq ft of regular double glazed glass(not lo-e).
This only happens maybe two weeks a year.
I’m wondering if there are any simple ways to insulate the windows . I have 14x 3’x8′ windows on the south side that I would like to have some removable insulation for. all the ideas I’ve seen can be quite elaborate or bulky- not a problem for one or two windows but a big problem for 14 large windows.
thanks
