Hi all - I'm just starting the planning process for replacing the
original alluminum windows on my 37 year old house. There are windows
on every side: 3 on the East, 3 on the West, 2 on the South and 6 on
the North. My question is what would your recommendation be for the
North side? Would I still want the Low-e glass since the sun really
doesn't shine through those windows?

Thanks in advance for your response!

Probably not, but I would suggest that you do not use metal framed windows.

This site explains why you might want to spend the extra:

Low-e will reflect the heat back in the wintertime. I think you definitely
want it.
