Opening windows saves some energy
It's hot in the inland counties of the state this week, though our coastal section has been fairly tolerable. If it does get bad here, I do have a small air-conditioner in a window of the home office. But this summer, thanks to the installation of new windows, I've been able to get by with much less use of that air-conditioner. When the room had to stay closed (because the old windows were in such bad shape that we feared they might stick open) I was using the air-conditioning on several summer days. Now that I can open both windows and let the breezes flow, we'll be using less energy, which is good for our pocketbook and good for the grid.
