If your best view is to the NE, put your windows on the NE side of the house. Insulate like crazy. The point of windows is to look out of - they are a net heat loss. Much less of a loss on the south side, but still will loose more heat at night than they gain in the day.

The biggest thing you can do to cut heating costs is to make the house as small as you can possibly live with.

Having said that, it is nice feeling the sun coming into the house in the middle of the winter. Our best view is to the south so that is where we have our glass. We don't have to heat at all in the middle of a sunny day even when it is -10F, but we do pay for having that glass at night.
