What is the comparison with wood windows and storms versus a decent new window.......say Anderson double hung.......with regard to energy efficiency?
I'd presume that the storm does the majority of the work with regard to limiting airflow and the three inch space between the two windows is superior to the 1/2" space on the double glazed Andersens.
Be interesting to see a side by side comparison, although it's difficult due to the lack of any data on the wood window/storm window combo.
