I thought single-pan- e windows had gone the way of the dinosaurs. What's the story? A. You're right that there are many great new windows available for homes today, but experts have concluded that in a relatively mild climate, winand single-pan- e dows can be adequate, especially in homes that rarely use heat or air conditioning. If you use a lot of air conditioning, you need to consider what to do about those windows. Researchers at the Florida Solar Energy Center have come up with some guidelines for good design of windows in hot, humid climates. Read through this information and see if it helps you decide on a course of action for your home. First, all windows in a house should be capable of being opened and have mechanisms for conflow. You want to air trolling minimize infiltration energy losses and maximize ventilation control, so you need to be able to open and close windows. When they are closed, by the way, it is essential that they seal tightly. This is one reason jalousie windows have fallen ! out of favor. Probably the best basic win well-insulat- making this a perfect kitchen ;for entertaining. r The breakfast room has windows on three walls, flooding .the room with light.

Consider the sun paths that put the sun much higher in midday in the summer than in winter, and the fact that the sun rises and sets north of east and west in summer, and south of east and west in winter. Thinking of these changes in sun position will help you choose the best design and most effectively use shading devices. Finally, use shades on windows on the east and west sides of your home to block the early morning or late afternoon sun, but that can be opened to let daylight in when the sun is on the other side of the house or high overhead.
