ceiling fans (cool off house w/o using thermo)
Vinyl windows
Curtains to block out heat
wind turbine outside to produce electricity
Etc

My family has several health problems( asthma, severe allergies and bronchitis), I need to hang plastic to conserve heat and lower my energy bills, but I am afraid of mold growing in the window sill. When hot and cold air meet on the plastic it begins to sweat, then the water gathers in the window sills, eventually growing mold. Is there anything I can do to prevent this form happening. I have considered putting the plastic on the outside on the windows, but I have vinyl siding and nothing I’ve tried will stick to the siding when it gets cold. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do to prevent the mold, or how to get the plastic hung outside without damaging the siding, please let me know, it’s getting cold and I need to get something done!
I am worried about the mold growing on the inside of the window sill, between the plastic and the window, once the plastic is hung, you can’t wipe up any condensation without tearing it down. what should I do?
