[Greenbuilding] night insulation for windows savings

[Kirsten A Flynn]

I install triple cell blinds all the time for clients that cannot  
change out or double pane their windows at the present.  They are  
supposed to have an R value somewhere between 2 and 4, depending who  
is saying it, and are pretty inexpensive.  I have bought them from  
Jessit-Gold, wholesale branch of Smith and Noble, and Hunter Douglas.   
I think the Hunter Douglas brand has higher quality hardware.  Their  
brand name is Duette triple cell honeycomb blinds.

You still get the condensation problem mentioned earlier because of  
insulating inside the glass.

Thermal comfort is improved, according to my anecdotal experience.
