Why you need Window Shades

Article Category: Home Management

Window shades are increasingly becoming in vogue again these days. And the reason is more than aesthetics. Many households, with the current economic crunch, are now searching for ways on means to cut spending. Cutting power cost is one of the common alternatives. Various ways could be taken to cut energy consumption, and installing window shades could contribute a lot in this endeavor.

Windows and other transparent home installations called collectively as fenestrations, significantly influence heating and air conditioning costs. Fenestrations, particularly windows, can add to the energy cost through radiant heat gains during summer and conduction heat losses in winter. However, if properly designed and operated, such as by installing window shades, fenestrations can actually help reduce power consumption. Energy utilization and natural illumination can be maximized with an appropriate design of window shades. For instance, a home could have roller shades that could easily be manipulated either to help trap heat or to allow the sun in for needed illumination.

The material available in the manufacture of modern window shades today is oftentimes chosen taking into consideration this particular benefit that could be derived from well-designed home fenestrations. For example, there are roller shades constructed from highly reflective material on the side facing the window glazing. Such a design can significantly control the solar radiant heat gain from windows in homes or other buildings. This control can be further manipulated if mechanisms are put into place so that the window shades could be adjusted at different times of the day, thereby enhancing the way by which the roller shades contribute to an energy-efficient building.

For instance , when the sun is not directly shining on the window pane, the roller shades could be left open. Conversely, in hours of peak summer heating, the window shades could be closed in progression in order to reflect incident radiation back out of the home or building before it becomes trapped as heat inside the structure. During the winter months, this system of manipulating window shades could be reversed so that the maximum amount of solar heat is allowed inside the interior of a home or building. A significant reduction in costs of heating and cooling may be realized if the control system of the window shades is managed efficiently so that the cooling load is reduced in summer and heating is supplemented during winter.

There are many designs of roller shades now available which take into consideration this control system. Gone are the days when window shades are merely manually manipulated by cords. There are now motorized roller shades which can be controlled from a key pad or wall switch, remote control or a personal computer. Clearly, these types of window shades would more expensive, but in the long run they could prove worth the investment for the cost savings that they bring.
