It's amazing to me that aerogel windows/skylights/multi-panes haven't gotten more attention in this arena. What if your window was as good an insulator as your wall? What if it was better? What if you could have translucent skylights heat the house without losing any (effectively) heat through them?

What happens if you like having the windows open?

Where is your sacred R value now?

When you open a window, do you open every single window in your house? If not, the greenhouse effect keeps working through the others.
