In cold months, let passive solar energy work for you to help heat your home. Do the opposite in warmer months, by blocking the sun as much as possible. Here are a few ways to achieve these results and help cut your energy use (and cost):
- In winter, leave shades up in the direction where the sun shines in. Keep them down in the warmer months.
- Conversely, keep cold out in directions where there is no warming light. Insulated shades can help in this respect.
- Take a long-range view when landscaping your home. Deciduous trees (those that loose their leaves in the winter) allow sunlight in during the colder time of year and shade your home from undesired heat at other times.
- Consider installing awnings
- Use heat-blocking window tint film.
