I have never lived in a cabin where I could save on energy costs, and in fact, I’ve always lived in old, semi dilapidated buildings where you suffered from unpleasant drafts and dim lighting all afternoon and night.
I’ve never lived in a cabin with large, south-facing windows or skylights to let in the natural lighting.
Instead, I tend to live in dark, claustrophobic homes with awful outdoor air circulation and even worse natural lighting conditions, and that’s why, I was seriously happy when I meandered into this home for sale and saw the enjoyable floor-to-ceiling windows. The home is rather old and the building is a historic relic, which is why the windows are so stately and wonderful. I realize, you entirely can’t install such big windows in today’s current world because of government regulations and problems with energy expenditure! You see, when you have such big panes of glass in the house, you are opening yourself up to awful air temperature regulation and plenty of lavish drafts, then with these big windows, the household would also have uneven tepid and freezing air hot and cold temperatures all year round. In the summer, the sun would be streaming in through the windows and heating of the household significantly all afternoon. In the winter, freezing and freezing drafts can very sneak through the poorly sealed windows and freezing air will radiate from the thin glass. I care about this household for all it’s enjoyable features, although I don’t know if I can afford it long term. As much as I want to live in a naturally light and enjoyable home, I also need to afford my energy costs.
