Heat transfers either by conduction, convection or radiation.
How is heat lost from inside a house through the window?
By conduction, convection and radiation.
How does loft insulation work?
Generally, the heat in your house rises. This can mean that a lot of heat is lost through the roof. If you put insulation in your loft, the insulation is a poor conductor of heat so the heat stays below the loft and your loft is cold. Then less heat gets to the roof and so less heat is lost.
When a pendulum loses its energy where is it going?
Such "lost energy" is usually lost by friction; most of it is converted to heat, sooner or later.
Where is most energy lost in coal fired power stations?
Most energy (almost half) is lost as heat via the cooling towers. Hope this helps :)

The main fate of energy is for it to be lost as heat.
What places in the house lose the most heat?
the bathroom maybe or the attic
