This check must be done at least two times in a year to prevent heat loss in winters due to any unwanted opening.
Weather stripping also offers an insulation to the inner side of the room from the outer cold during winters. So, you must check the weather stripping around your windows, doors and other temporary openings to prevent any loss of inner heat during the winter season. Weather stripping must be re-applied for at least once in a year, particularly in homes located in areas having high traffic.

Window coverings must be kept open during the daytime to attract the most amount of heat from the sun and trap it in the interiors to reduce the need of internal heaters.
Window coverings must be kept closed during the winter nights to prevent the loss of internal heat to the cold outside environment.
