Heated Windows
Radiant floor heating is nothing new, but how about radiant heating from your windows? The Engineered Glass Products company says that huge windows may be great for views, but they’re not energy efficient because heat escapes through the glass, and regular windows also create cold drafts and get fogged up because the glass surface is colder than the inside air temperature. At least, that’s how it used to work. Their Hot Glass technology turns the inside pane of the window into a heated surface, which is supposed to stop fogging, and eliminated drafts or “hot and cold spots” in a room. Worried about the cost? The company says their heated windows will actually save you money on energy costs, because “when a room is evenly heated, the air can be up to 5 degrees F cooler without having any effect whatsoever on the comfort of its occupants.”

We are actually planning to install heated windows this winter along with heated floors on the first floor of our house. If anybody knows of any good contractors with experience at this stuff in the St. Paul area, let me know please. Thanx!
