Windows may account for a major source of unwanted heat loss or gain in a structure. The purpose of windows is to bring in daylight and allow ventilation. A completely windowless structure would prevent heat loss, but would run up the lighting bill. There is a direct connection between daylight and ventilation and personal health. Daylighting is also a consideration of many codes. Current technology allows for windows to be more energy efficient than in the past.
