Windows

Install weather stripping where there are air gaps.

Consider installing energy efficient windows with a NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) Rating of 0.40 or less (SHGC and U-Factor).  [U-Factor is an indication of the amount of heat that moves through window.  The lower the U-Factor the better.  The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) indicates the amount of solar energy that passes through window.  The lower the better].  Also, make sure to check for utility rebates.
