Replacing windows is one way to get UV back into your home. Blocking UV with double-paned windows and UV blocking coatings was a mistake that began in the 1980s. Prior to this, UV from sunlight came in through the standard window glass -- a single pane blocks about 4% of UV, a double pane blocks 8%. This means neither the person nor the home receives this important aspect of sunlight.
By replacing windows just on the sunny side of the house, one can improve the quality of the indoor air and overall space.
Note that sun=skin cancer is a relatively new concept. After ten years of people smearing benzene-laden sunscreen on themselves, lo and behold they got cancer.
Great post, btw!!! We have all your books, though we'd be more inclined to gift "hormone deception" if it were in kindle format.
i am going to try to get it on kindle, thanks. i lecture so much and then also fly to Florida to see patients, it's been a whirwind year. best to you. dlb
