Hang an insulated thermal curtain.

A small west-facing staff office window at this library gets direct late-afternoon sun with no shading of any kind, and by the time that heat reaches the glass a curtain is the last and least effective place in the light's path to stop it -- but it is also the cheapest, and the only option that never touches the building itself. An insulated thermal curtain or window quilt mounted on a simple rod is a same-day fix that works entirely from inside the room.

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

library-staff confirmation record plus header-clear confirmation plus open/closed photos

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. Confirm with library staff how sun exposure at this office window is currently handled, measure the window's width and mounting surface, and photograph the bare window before work.
2. 2. Mount a curtain rod or track bracket to the interior wall or trim above the window using a cordless drill/driver only, never into any structural header.
3. 3. Hang the insulated thermal curtain or window quilt sized to overlap the frame on both sides and reach the sill, with any sealing edge (hook-and-loop or magnetic strip) closed against the wall.
4. 4. Test opening and closing the curtain through its full range, and photograph the finished, hung curtain both open and closed.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded confirmation from library staff before any work
• Confirmation that the mounting bracket did not penetrate any structural header
• Photo of the curtain hung and closed against the window
• Photo of the curtain opened fully to the side

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.
