KEEPING WARM 
More than half the total heat loss in a 
house in winter can come from closed 
but ill-fitting windows. Tight construc- 
tion with a double window sash can cut 
this heat loss by 50 percent or more and 
thus reduce overall heat loss by 25 per- 
cent or more, while decreasing the tem- 
perature differences between windows, 
floors, and ceilings. In addition, storm 
windows help maintain significantly 
higher humidity inside the house in win- 
ter. This is desirable because extremely 
dry interiors can cause respiratory dis- 
comfort and aggravate such illnesses as 
head colds and influenza. 
The inner surface of a single window 
acquires a temperature only a little 
higher than that of the outside air and 
transmits that temperature to the inte- 
rior air. Interior air cooled by contact 
with the window then deposits most of 
its moisture on the inside of the window 
in the form of water drops or even ice. 
When the cooled room air circulates 
away from the window area, it is 
warmed by mixing with other room air, 
but there is rarely a moisture source 
elsewhere in the room comparable to the 
“sink” at the window. This condition is 
largely alleviated by installing a double 
window because the inner glass surface 
presents a higher temperature than the 
outer glass, and condensation on the 
inner window is correspondingly re- 
duced. 
We installed electric resistance heat- 
ers (akin to the burners of an electric 
stove but containing fans) in the walls, 
for use as an emergency heating back- 
up. In the new, approximately 420- 
square-foot living room, there is now a 4- 
kilowatt electric heater, but this alone is 
not large enough to maintain a comfort- 
able temperature on cold and windy 
days, and it costs twenty to twenty-five 
cents per hour to operate. The fireplace 
could heat nearly the whole house above 
72 °F under practically any conditions of 
outside cold; but wood-burning rates on 
cold days were about ten pounds of 
wood per hour. While there is plenty of 
wood on our farm, it has to be cut, 
hauled, and stacked. Also, fires have to 
be fed and ashes have to be removed. In 
view of the time and effort involved with 
so much wood, we usually hung a blan- 
ket in the hallway joining the old and 
new parts of the house to prevent circu- 
lation of air, and during the winter we 
used the new living room and fireplace 
only when we had guests. 
A fireplace radiates heat and a Heat- 
ilator makes an additional contribution
