Look into getting impact resistant windows, especially if you have any issues with noise(too close to a road). 1
10 years ago they were 30% higher than standard windows. You might be elgible for a reduction in your insurance prices(probably not much here but in South Florida it was worthwhile)
Lastly, our house does have a large window which gets hit by the sun most of the day. Had very noticeable heat near window. Tinted the window and it had negligible affect and wished we replaced that window with double pained glass.
