Many Windows...
The Solar7 House uses a number of window technologies in order to showcase the many options you have when designing or re-designing your home in a sustainable way. Many of these windows were designed for optimal retention of heat while considering the effects on daylighting. Based on extensive dayligthing analysis, our contact at New England Window Systems developed most of the windows throughout the house. The links above will take you to some pictures of our team putting these window systems into the house during construction.
