Shutting your curtains/shutters stops heat loss as effective as having double glazing. Perhaps I'm just too used to living in old houses without double-glazing or cavity insulation but have always shut the curtains to keep the heat in - doesn't need a "special survey" to tell me that! |
Lol! This sort of thing is funny, but some people possibly wouldn't know.

Maybe the old folks that survived WW2 blitz have forgotten how to survive cold winters ?

It is a bit claustrophobic with the shutters closed i find tho

I just put the lights on, they are a bit like candles. |
And to think someone got paid to report this to us :rolleyes:
I really do wonder how some people get paid for the rubbish they come up with |
What an astounding invention it would have been, with enormous financial implications, if the results had shown that closing curtains allowed more heat to escape. A revolution in the design of fridges, refrigerated lorries, car radiators, etc., much less energy used for air conditioning systems. Sadly not to be ;)

Can't believe that anyone would need to be told about that as though it is an astounding revelation! Les |

Good for keeping out the heat in the summer too, so no need for air conditioning either. :cool: |
