With single pane vinyl storm windows (attic/ rear kitchen): (4) <br />First/Second floor vinyl replacement windows: (3) <br />While I understand the importance of maintaining the historic character of the home (and the <br />neighborhood), my ultimate goal is to improve the overall energy efficiency of the home (we replaced <br />the furnace/AC unit with a high efficiency unit this past summer, and while the home was being painted <br />the summer of 2019, had additional insulation installed at exterior wall areas). If the Historic <br />Commission determines the new vinyl windows are inappropriate for a contributing-classified home, I’m <br />open to exploring additional measures in order to achieve a balance between the historic character of <br />the original wood windows/storm windows and the new energy-efficient vinyl windows (perhaps adding <br />original wood storm windows to the outside of the new vinyl windows on the front façade, or those <br />windows deemed “significant” to the historic character of the building?). After much research and <br />exploration of various window types/styles, the proposed vinyl windows will achieve the energy <br />efficiency I seek while meeting the budget constraints and value of the home. I hope we can come to a <br />mutually beneficial compromise. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
