I enjoyed your section on window shutters. It made sense to me, as I have noticed while staying at a house near Paris that such outdoor shutters were common, even though I had not previously experienced them. I can see how they might have some valuable energy-related properties. I don't think they're realistic though for my present home, because almost all my windows are large sliding glass doors. Do you have any further ideas on window treatments... i.e.: blinds, shades, curtains? The one idea I've heard so far is to go to Home Depot because they apparently have some sort of Aluminum-reflective type blind that is inexpensive and good for summertime to keep the sun's warming out. Also, on one or two sites similar to your own topic (greenbuilder.com, etc.) I did see some mention of shades which have a good high R value which would help in winter. I don't know if it's advisable to try to combine both products.
