[Greenbuilding] replacement window discussion

[Sacie Lambertson]

Having purchased an old 1883 intact with most of its originals inside and
out, we are eventually going to be facing the question of the windows.  I
plan to gut the house and do double wall construction a la passiv haus.
The windows for those are triple glazed and vastly expensive.  Some argue
double glazed with the 'insulating' shades is about as good as a triple
glazed window.  And some of you mention special shutters as an alternative
too.

I would like to read a further discussion on the merits of the various
approaches, particularly useful from those engaged in a scientific approach
like John Straube or Bob Klahn.

We're a long way from the project, but are beginning to consider some
details.

thanks,  Sacie
