That's right, you can achieve it all by double glazing your windows!
The gap between the two glass panels is filled with gas, which acts as an extra layer of insulation, keeping your house warm in winter (which seems to be 95% of the year in Wellington, right?) and cool in summer.
Talk to people that had their homes double glazed, they will tell you that the investment is worthwhile. Also, you will be helping the environment, decreasing your energy consumption will help reduce your carbon footprint.

Developers promoting an “effortless daily commute” from Wainuiomata should have done their homework.
Along with the usual sales patter about elegant design features and nearby cafés, Wolfbrook Property Group’s original online listing for 10 townhouses at 26 Fitzherbert Rd in Wainuiomata said the development had easy access to the local train station. The only problem was the trains don’t run from Wainuiomata, and they never have.

The much-loved wharf is currently closed after five piles were damaged in recent earthquakes.
Mayor Campbell Barry says the wharf is clearly in poor condition and the council wants to know what the public think about its future.
The council has budgeted $8m for repairs in 2032. It is clear, however, that the work needs to be done before then.
The council is expecting a new report soon on what the options are.
Former city councillor and council critic Max Shierlaw has already called for an “honest” debate on the future of the wharf.
“The Petone wharf is a luxury that no longer can be afforded or justified.”
