Rochester's seasons, indoors

Highs stay at 80°F or more from July to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

Living rooms on winter evenings
129 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 15 h 23 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
Short winter days
In December there are only 8 h 59 min of daylight here. Open the louvers fully, or swing the panels back, to let every hour of it into the room.
Room by room in Rochester
The median home in Rochester has 5.1 rooms, and the most common has 3 bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street. In Irondequoit, 4 miles away, the figure is 6 rooms.
