I saved 5 to 6 degree of heat loss from glass windows. I spent about $20 for 5 insulation sheets of 180 cm x 90 cm ( thickness is 3 cm).
To build one layer of insulation wall is easy and material is cheap. 3M window tape is around $1 per meter. It's useless when area of window glass is big. I'll post another version of insulation curtain which I won't do it.
What I'll do is to make round holes on the wall so that the sun light gets through during the day.
Human body generates 100W of heat all the time. Rather burning fuel in cold weather to maintain indoor temperature, blocking heat loss is good for shelter, energy independent house. A concrete, modern building which have big window glasses turn into the ice brick when it stops the HVAC machine to heat up.
I began to take cold shower for preparation of shelter living in a village for myself. Using ambient temperature water saves up to 30% of utility bill. I don't burn fuel to heat up water for taking hot shower. Others do as usual.
