Run the summer-closed, winter-open curtain routine.

An insulated curtain nobody operates is decor: closed all the time blocks the very winter sun that would otherwise help heat the room for free, and open all summer lets the afternoon heat straight through. The value of this rung is the routine itself, closed during the hottest part of summer afternoons and opened to let in low winter sun, logged so it is a real habit and not a one-time install.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

resident permission record plus one representative week of daily open/close logging plus weekly hardware check

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. During the cooling season, close the curtain before the window's peak sun exposure each afternoon and open it again once direct sun has passed; log the daily open/close times for at least one representative week.
2. 2. During the heating season, keep the curtain open through the sunny part of the day to let solar heat in, and close it only after dark to hold that heat in; log the daily pattern for at least one representative week.
3. 3. Each week, confirm the curtain still opens and closes fully with no binding, and that the sealing edge still closes flush against the wall.
4. 4. Photograph the curtain closed during a summer afternoon and open during a winter midday as the season allows, and keep the weekly log current.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Confirmation that a full representative week of daily open/close logging was completed
• Photo of the curtain closed during a summer afternoon
• Photo of the curtain open during a winter midday, season permitting

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.
