I mean, true, technically windows ARE the largest heat loss source. Also they are very bright!

We really should have insulated window blinds or shutters that easily / automatically close at night or in the winter.

Idk, when I lived there 5 years ago every house being built around us was getting them installed

Most new homes are getting electric roller shutters by default. They're controlled by a light switch (or via smart home) and are pretty much invisible when open.

Does your house get ventilation through closed Windows? Or do you just leave them open year-round?
