Cash for Caulkers

U.S. President Barack Obama laid out the details of his new HOMESTAR program, nicknamed "Cash for Caulkers," which would provide on-the-spot government rebates to homeowners who make their homes more energy-efficient by installing new windows, doors, insulation and other materials from an approved list.
But don't rush down just yet. The proposal is still working its way through Congress, which must authorize funding before the program can be set up and any money can change hands.

How does that water get on the inside of windows and what can I do about it?

How does that water get on the inside of windows and what can I do about it? Condensation on the inside of a window is the result of a higher air moisture content contacting lower temperatures on the glass. The higher the interior humidity & the lower the outside temperature, the more condensation can occur. Excessive interior humidity can lead to structural damage. Wood rot, mold & mildew can result.
Helpful hints:
~Check sashes for smooth adequate operation.
~Use exhaust fans, especially when showering.
~Install & use a dehumidifier.
~Use ceiling fans to circulate air.
~Open windows & doors whenever possible to allow interior moisture to escape.
