There are several options for reducing summer heating from sunlight in a well insulated and sealed building. These include: 1) Solar screens. These block 80-90% of infrared heat. They are mounted outside the window and maintain a view. 2) Solar grates. This is what we used. The grates have savings similar to the screens but they produce a brighter room while maintaining a view. The grates are stored in winter for free heating from sunlight. No operational controls are needed and maintenance is nil. 3) Films. These are evolving. Current designs are virtually invisible. Films block IR while passing visible light. Some films block IR in winter as well and thus block free heating. 4) Shutters and awnings. Functional shutters block IR and new designs preserve a view while leaving the room bright. All of these options are economically attractive even without government subsidies.
