PITTSBURGH---Look- hing for ways to save energy and reduce, fuel bills? Why nt consider the most effec- tvlowest-cost, and most dpendable solar collectors, available-windows. Large, well-managed windows are moràe efficient, sources of heating and light- ing for homes than many mo re complex solar energy stems, says glassmaker. ['PPG 'Industries. Properly desîgned and installed, win- do ws transmit so much of j'p the sun's free light and heat that theycan be used to l'~ supplement electric lighting and fossil fuel- heating, acording to Albert F.

According to Lutz, good window-managem ent prac- tices are the key to utilizing the solar daylight and heat transmitted 'through large, J~glass areas. 'Window management involves the coordinated control of shading and insu- lat ing devices, 1electric lights, nh1eating, ventiiating and air conditioning,7' Lutz says. For cooler climates, he recommends the use of mut- tiple-glazed insulating units, consisting of two or three panels of glass, separated by a sealed air space.

Glass- maker PPG Industries says that when properly designed and used, win- dows transmit so much free solar heat and light, even on cloudy days, that they can supplement electric lightlng and fossil fuel heat.t, benefit are tile floors and other materials which- ab- sorb the sun's heat duringi mre day -and release it at night, and irïsulated shutters or draperies to help retain the heat during evening hours. Tinted and Reflective Glasses "Homeo.wners in, warm climates, can select from -a variety of. tinted and reflec- tive glasses that control entry of the sun's heat and glare, mwhile transmitting enough solar daylight illu- mination for most tasks," Lutz says. He adds that rooi' overhangs, deciduous *trees liJ ALUMUNUM LIMUTED establlshed 1949 and other devices can be. used for shade, and win- dows that open can provide ventilation. Roof overhangs provide shade in sumfmer -when the sun's altitude, is high, and allow the solar daylighting to penetrate into rooms in winter when the sun's alti- tude is low. Strategic plantingo f deciduous trees allows the, leaves to provid e shade in summer.

According to Lutz, large window areas can save fossil fuel and reduce energy for homeowners in al parts of the country. He emphasizes that window-management' practices also can be useci with existing windows for substantial gain of solar heat and illumination, t Windows- Utilize Solar Energy Metrie Tables 1 ounce = 28.35 gramrs 1 pound = 0.4536 kilogramns Volumes: 1 ounce 29.57 18 milliliters' 1 pint =- 0.47415 liter 1 quart= 0.9463 liter, 1 gallon= 3.785 liters Temperatures: .0 degree IF =17.8"C (Cel*sius) 3degrees IF = 0OC 70 degrees IF = 21.10C 212 degrees OFý = 100'C 250 degrees IF = .121PC 300 degrees IF = 148'C 350 degrees IF= 1780C 400 degrees IF =202"C 500 degrees IF =-2601C St clir the paint& paper people Establlshed Since'1939' LOO1KING FORWARD TO-SHARING, ANQTHER, SUCCESSFUL 1982 WITH DURHAM REGION. i1Pools 0F ROLLS 0F WALLPAPER IN STOCK MIDTOWN MALL N. 1 200UJOH>N ST.< 576-2431,, Durham- Region'ils, Iargest inventory of kiln dried h ardwoods and softwoods Custom KiIn, Drying Facilities (Up to 100,000 f t.)
