Insulated window shutters that lift or pivot upwards. The lifter mechanism has a slippy clutch built-in.. i.e. the shutter will slowly drift down under its own weight if the lifting-string-loop is not continually being pulled. A solar panel runs a small motor which pulls on the lifter. In the morning,
the shutters are lifted. At night, the house gets sleepy and the 'eyelids' close.

high-pollen-count days might be going too far. |
