Fuel oil conservation. Here's blackout insulation--a twofold combination to save you money! Use sections of board for the top half of the window and the bottom half. The board for the upper half of the window, which should be weatherproofed board, can be nailed in place on the outside of the window frame and half-drawn shades will conceal this piece from the inside. The board for the lower half can be attached at night from the inside. Not only are these practical blackout shields, but you'll save one gallon of oil for each square foot of board used
