Use Airlocks to Cut Down on Energy Loss
In cold winter climates, one of the best ways you can cut down on energy/heat loss in your house is to employ an “airlock.”
Yes, think science fiction movies. Essentially, an airlock is an area that exists between two doors that you must go through to enter your house. This can either be an existing porch structure, or even a simple 2×4 and plastic structure that you add to your main door. The whole philosophy of this is that you go through one door before opening another, keeping the cold gusts from flowing into your house, and the hot air from flowing out.
