Yellowknife's seasons, indoors

Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 20 h 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.
Living rooms on winter evenings
222 nights a year fall at or below 0 °C. 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.
Short winter days
In December there are only 4 h 57 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 Yellowknife
The average home in Yellowknife has 5.5 rooms, and the most common has 3 bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street.
13% of workers here worked from home on census day in May 2021, fewer than in 88% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for.
