Energy Tip»
BY SHARON ALLRED
ALLRED DECKER
CHARLOTTE —I wrote last
week about solar energy and
passive solar energy inparticular.
Many of our homes possess the
potential for taking advantage of
passive solar heating possibilities.
Can you remember a cold
winter afternoon, sitting in a
sunny spot in your living room?
You were taUng advantage of
the warmth of the sun and a
“direct gain” form of passive
solar heating.
The sun’s rays are very warm
ing in cold months. But what
about the summer months when
temperatures are warmer and
you don’t necessarily want to
feel additional heat from the
sun? And perhaps most of all,
you don’t want to increase the
need for air conditioning because
of the beaming sunlight filtering
in through the glass tueas of
your home.
Window awnings or
overhangs positioned to take ad
vantage of the winter sun and to
block summer sun help control
heat gain. Some choose to use
reflective glass to reduce the heat
from the sun’s rays penetrating
into the house.
Window treatments become a
very important part of managing
a direct gain solar system for
your home. With the advent of
increasing interest in solar
energy, several studies have been
made on the use of various win
dow treatments. Also, new win
dow shade designs have been
developed for better window
management and decorative
beauty as well.
A recent study conducted at
North Carolina State University
compared three types of window
treatments for reducing solar
gain. The three types were win
dow shades (standard light-
colored, oftaque, vinyl-covered
cloth), draperies and Venetian
blinds.
The sun’s rays pass through
transparent glass, strike an
object-whether it be the floor,
furniture, carpet-and are con
verted tqjieat. As a result Jieat
builds up inside the home. The
more heat buildup, the greater
the need for air conditioning to
keep the house cool.
Thus, the three types of win
dow treatments were compared
on the basis of how much each
application could reduce the cost
of air conditioning required to

Fire Damages
Goody-Goody
Considerable damage was
reported by fire to the old
Goody-Goody Barbecue
building on Shelby Road.
City firemen responded to the
call and said that cause of the
blaze is indetermined. The
building is owned by Jonas
Bridges.
offset solar heat buildup.
The study results were based
on data for 17 United States’
cities. It was determined that for
a typical home with average
orientation and 200 square feet
of unshaded glass area, the total
seasonal cost for air conditioning
to offset solar heat gain was
$166.
The study concluded that win
dow shades could reduce the
cost of air conditioning required
to offset solar heat buildup from
about $166 to $66-a $1()0 sav
ings for the cooling season.
When draperies were used as
window treatments, average air
conditioning costs were reduced
from $166 to $98-a $68 savings.
Venetian blinds reduced the
average cost irom $166 to
$114-a $52 savings for the
season.
These savings would vary, of
course, with location,
temperature differences and
local utility rates. However, 1
think the study clearly shows
that window treatments can
make a difference in the cooling
needs of your home.
In considering the types of
window shades available, keep in
mind that light colors do not ab
sorb the sun’s rays. Dark colors
create heat from solar rays.
Opaque, rather than
transparent material, reduces
solar penetration into the in
terior and vinyl surfaces deflict
the sun’s rays, bouncing them
back and reducing heat buildup.
These same principles apply to
draperies, as well.
To save energy by using win
dow shades, the Window Shade
News Bureau suggests following
these two guidelines;
1. Pull window shades down to
the sills during the sunny parts
of the day, particularly on the
south and west sides of the house
where the sun’s rays are
strongest.
2. In the late evening or early
morning, when the sun is not
shining brightly, raise shades to
permit cool air to flow through
the house.
The same guidelines will apply
to using draperies or Venetian
blinds.
Think about your own home.
Could wise window manage
ment save on cooling costs this
summer?
