		<description><![CDATA[Low-emittance &#8211; or Low-E &#8211; windows are an increasingly common way to control temperature within the building envelope. Traditionally, windows were accepted as being &#8220;energy losers&#8221; &#8211; they lacked the insulation found in the rest of the building frame, so they were prime locations for heat to escape in winter or for cool air to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most immediately appealing ways to conserve energy in your home is through passive solar heating. It is a method completely distinct from the use of solar cells; passive solar designs don&#8217;t convert energy &#8211; they just make better use of the stuff that&#8217;s already there! To take full advantage of the ways [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In buildings that use the sun as a heating source, the most important element of design is a southerly exposure, and windows are the most common form.
Window Position
Your windows must face south so the sun has maximum exposure into the house, although you will lose only about 10% of the potential solar radiation by placing [...]]]></description>
