Energy-efficient window dressing
By Lenka Vienneau
Energy conservation is a growing concern in our homes. One effective way to reduce our energy consumption is to invest in high-performance blinds. Blinds can play an important role in the thermal insulation of our homes, which can have a significant impact on our energy consumption and our heating and cooling bills.
Choosing Energy-Efficient Blinds
- Solar and roller shades, once limited to offices, are now a stylish and functional choice for homes.
- Cellular (honeycomb) shades use air-trapping cells to insulate, reducing heat loss in winter and blocking heat in summer.
- Alternating strip blinds overlap fabric layers to block heat and drafts, boosting energy savings and reducing summer cooling needs.
