Great idea. We did a similar analysis and found that our energy usage was driven primarily by solar gain on hot Austin afternoons.
After having some window tinting installed, our electric bill has dropped nearly 30%. Our living room is much more comfortable with less glare, and we still have a great view of the lake.
