[Greenbuilding] [BULK] night insulation for windows savings

[Lawrence Lile]

>You are absolutely right that blocking the direct radiant exposure to
the
cold glass immediately improves comfort.  Convincing people that they
can
turn down there heat as a result of their improved comfort is another
thing.
Radiant floors that deliver heat feel warmer at a given temperature than
forced air heat.  In theory, that would allow the occupant to lower the
heat
to equal comfort with forced air heat.  However, studies have shown that
home owners keep the same temperature and increase their comfort
instead.

Alas, this is how it works in the Lile household - The floor heat does
not result in reduced indoor temperatures and resultant energy savings.
A particular member of the household (not "Eskimo" Lile) is responsible
for this issue, and it isn't open for negotiation either.
