BLACK CURTAINS SOLAR SAVINGS OF 30% OF WINTER HEAT Ante JE

About 75% of all sunlight that shines through the east, west and south to the windows and doors are lost in the form of light energy in the winter months. This 75% uptake solar "loss" may amount to 30% or more of their heating bills in the typical home or business. All windows and doors when the sun shines through can produce heat or light, but not from the sun. But since about 95% of all shades are only the support of white to reflect the rays of sun most of all this solar heat gain in winter potential windows and doors were lost or never used in most homes and businesses.

For example I have two doors and 10 full-screen games in our house facing either east, west or south, which receives light from the sun. I have a choice to let the light in these 12 windows and doors or heat I can do by installing floor reversible black or dark colored curtains. If I decide to leave only the sunlight into the windows and doors, Utility bill at 100% of these areas or rooms, but almost no heat gain. But if I use a black back curtain that I can save 30% or more of my heating bills year. Each solar black curtain is not kept out all sunlight and is a simple matter to open a curtain in a room I'm working to get more light to work. And that can only be in a room in the house at a time when it makes sense for me to get hot in the other 11 windows in unused rooms and doors in place of light that is 100% wasted. Most people do not realize they have this option to produce heat or light from the sun that shines in your home or business.

To achieve these savings of 30% winter heat you need two things. One, seal windows and doors, ducts or other roll-on clear foil windows of about $ 1.00 per window. And two, covering the windows and doors with a dark, black, or just plain better black material or curtains to start making heat instead of light with the sun. Black colored materials absorb solar radiation and heat to create a project that will draw the cooler air up from the ground and cold areas in the center of a room.

The best solution is to make solar curtains sewing a reversible black coating material in existing curtains or possibly black dye curtains. If you have Venetian blinds you can spray paint one side black matte for winter and use the existing white side for the summer. And you can do a very good temporal window panel solar centt simply record 10 black garbage bags covering the windows or sheets of black or dark material than others. But a 2-inch top and bottom for air to circulate up and at least 2 to 4 inches away from the window.

Thermal curtains back to cost about $ 30 for the window that come all the way to the ground are best because they make a natural chimney climbing cooler air from the floor up. If the black material is very close to the window and / or can not move then the heating is completed most of the window panes and lose a lot of heat convection of cold glass panes. So keep the materials in black or shades of at least 2 to 4 inches from the windowpane. Thermal curtains are the best option that they also retain heat loss at night and when the sun does not shine during the day and at the expense Additional worthwhile. But faced with simple black curtains or curtain liners thin thermal unemployed.

The conduit or other games of Roll-On Window can be purchased at the end of the winter season, 75% discount and / or just buy a roll of $ 3.00 extra for double-sided tape and save and reuse the clear plastic next year. These clear roll kits take only 5 minutes to install on each window and are advertised to save $ 190/year on a five-window kit or $ 38.00 per window or door.

The 30% savings can be increased by solar reflective surfaces outside the home that reflect sunlight into the windows and doors from outside. I like 3.8 inches with the silver foam backing on one side for this purpose. For example, my south facing front door is filled with this foam board vertically on each side wall that is barely noticeable to anyone. These two reflective surfaces on both sides of the front door doubles the square footage of the gain solar and usable sunlight entering the door of my passive solar energy panel. My door to the south is covered with black and I just open the door to possible with the chain lock on the door still attached during the day when the sun shines this solar energy for free.

Other exterior surfaces of reflection for windows should be approximately 45 degrees to reflect sunlight into the solar shades. Of 3 / 8 inches by 2 feet 4 feet reflect foam board costs around $ 1.00 each when purchased in packs of 12 at the hardware store and Menards. And these same 2 feet by 4 feet sheets of foam can be used to make rigid thermal covers for the inside of the windows at night. And they can be used to make passive solar energy panels that hang on the outside of a window for additional space collector solar and heat. Can also be used to make a very good solar oven or stove.

Professional passive solar panels are expensive and not widely promoted for heating at home, but the designs are so simple that anyone can make their own additional solar panels heating window hanging out the window. Mother Earth Magazine sells various designs and shape of articles to do this. I am very surprised that the largest plastic companies like Rubbermaid have come out with a window panel cost $ 30 plastic solar. These could easily be mass produced and sold at a profit. And the additional heat gain in winters these passive solar collectors with solar window curtains could easily provide 65% of home heating in most households needs U.S.. And reversible thermal curtains provide additional year-round savings for cooling in warmer months.

The major drawback solar thermal curtains today is that they are not widely available yet and what most people will have to make your own sewing or attaching Velcro strips with a black material to your existing curtains. However, local schools or community groups can initiate programs to do this for your community for a nominal fee or donation raise money. This program is definitely dark solar shade green program that pays for itself in 2 to 3 months when the first year and saves you money each year from time and reducing the environmental footprint of homes, apartments, schools, churches and businesses. And these windows and solar panels, solar curtains of the window are portable and can be take with you to your new house or apartment.

So decide what you want from sunlight - 90% light or 90% of heat in each of the rooms of your house, apartment or business. I choose 90% of the heat during the winter months and a discount of 30% or more on my heating bills.
