As with many complex projects, there is no one factor or idea that works for all economical building designs. What keeps buildings warm in winter may keep them too hot in summer; we need to approach climate in terms of keeping temperatures stable. Likewise, windows can cut the cost of lighting, but they can increase the cost of temperature control unless designed accordingly.
Some data:
- Walls tend to keep in the heat more than windows. They are cheaper too.
- Brick Veneer cost about $100.oo per square meter; double glazed windows cost $350.oo per square meter.
- Insulation for walls costs about $10.oo per square meter, $17.oo for ceilings.
- Good seals around doors and windows help with heating costs.
- Windows aimed toward the Sun help with light and heating, but these will also loose heat at night or when the sun has moved during the day.
- Allowing a breeze through the house will reduce cooling costs in summer.
- Hot air rises. If you find a way to let the hot air escape the house will be cooler.
