# Energy-Saving Window Treatments
This playbook describes various window treatments designed to enhance energy efficiency in a home by reducing heat loss and gain. The treatments covered include blinds, curtains, and window films.

### Step 1: Measure Windows
Carefully measure the dimensions of the windows to ensure that the selected treatments will fit properly. Include width, height, and depth in your measurements.

### Step 2: Select Blinds
Choose blinds that are designed to insulate, such as those with cellular construction that trap air in distinct pockets.

### Step 3: Choose Curtains
Opt for curtains with thermal lining, which can provide a barrier against both summer heat and winter cold. Ensure the curtains are large enough to cover your windows completely for maximum efficiency.

### Step 4: Install Window Films
Select window films that reflect heat and prevent UV radiation from entering the home. Follow the manufacturer&#x27;s instructions for application. Ensure the window glass is clean before applying the film.

### Step 5: Maintenance
Regularly clean and maintain your window treatments according to manufacturer guidelines to ensure they continue to provide energy savings.

## General Notes

### Professional Help
Consider consulting with a professional for recommendations tailored to your specific needs and for assistance with proper installation.

### Energy Star
Look for products with the Energy Star label as an indicator of energy efficiency.
