Window Coverings and outdoor sun shades can be very effective at making a home more energy efficient, as they shade and blockout the sun in summer and insulate from the cold in winter.
WincovER helps to compare the energy efficiency of the various types of window coverings. However, to benefit the most from your window coverings and outdoor shades, it is important to open and close them at times when they will provide maximum benefit.
