A super-tight, super-insulated keeps the swings in temperature to a 
lower amplitude, but you can have some variation if you like.  At this 
point in the year, I just keep the windows open all the time.  This 
gives me variation slightly moderated from the outside temps.  In the 
height of summer, I close windows during the day, and open them at 
night.  Later in the fall, I will be doing the reverse.  Insulaters, it 
turns out, CAN be choosers. :-)


Thank You Kindly,
