Default Heat loss through skylight

Some do, some don't, based on 300-year-old high-school physics, eg Newton.

Do you have a list with the physical characteristics of every
commercially-available skylight on earth to prove your claim? :-)

If so, post it.

Interesting observation. I feel better about my south facing windows
now.. (here in PA in the winter)

If you add in wind chill factor and radiation cooling losses and the
fact that most skylights or windows are not aligned directly to the
sun, they may end up being a net loss but not a hugh loss.

Nick, you appear to be the ultimate engineer and these other buys are
more practical. Both points of view have value.
