Windows offer a HUGE opportunity for energy savings. The comment on (functional) shutters is on the money. One must go outside the window to have the greatest impact. About 70-90% of the heat load on air conditioning comes through the windows in the form of infrared gain, depending on climate and location. Consider solar screens. Also, there’s a patent pending product with possible application to residential and commercial applications that will meet or exceed solar screen performance, offers a different appearance and view, and has the possibility of a 2-4 year payout. (Prototype payout has been 5-7 years.)

I purchased my Window Coverings from http://www.blindschalet.com. They have green products that not only protect the environment but look good as well. Great article on why we should choose green window coverings.

Very interesting post! Another option for window treatments are Window Scenes. Window Scenes are custom images printed directly onto a static cling which is applied directly to the windows. It helps create great views for homeowners, while cutting down UV rays and helping lower heating/cooling costs. You can find more at http://www.createmyscene.com.

I thought this article was great! But I have been looking around for a couple months now and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find anywhere that meets all of the above requirements. The closest I have found so far is an online store with organic hemp curtains, but then again the lining is made of 70% acrylic! I appreciate any help. I am going to http://www.dwconline.com/ online next (thanks for the link above)

I am looking for indoor shutters for the bathroom, so they must stand up to humidity. Also, kid friendly (strong and washable). We want white. Any ideas where I can find some?

Sheryl, may I suggest http://www.dwconline.com/ as a directory for finding vendors. Most vendors these days offer green solutions since most fabrics that companies use come from one of three major sources. Ask for greenguard fabrics when shopping, and there should be a logo for greenguard on most sales material. If you’re looking to install yourself, or want installation in Northern California, you can contact us at http://www.advancedshading.com
