Why would more heat be lost through walls than windows?
this would only be the case if you had no insulation in your walls and double pane windows, with lo-e.
What object will take in more heat a single-pane window or a double-pane window?
The double pane window should be more efficient in keeping heat out. However, there is also more heat transfer from the frames if they are metal rather than vinyl. And the surface area of the double pane window is greater so it takes more time for the energy to be absorbed than the single pane window....I think:( My friend told me this information
Why does a carpet feels warmer to bare feet than lino?
Because carpet Barron's less heat from your feet as it has air spaces and acts asan insulater but Lino surface do exactly the opposite They absorb more heat from your legs
Is heat measured in degrees?
No. Heat is one of many forms of energy, and is measured in units of energy ... joules, calories, watt-seconds, BTU, foot-pounds, etc. "Degrees" describe the temperature of an object or a sample of a substance. That's a measure of how "full of heat" it is. One joule of heat will fill an ounce of water higher than the same joule will fill a gallon of water. So after absorbing the same amount of heat, the temperature of the ounce is higher than the gallon's temperature.
Does a larger roof have greater heat loss than a smaller roof?
If a large roof is twice the area of a small roof and they are otherwise the same, the heat loss will be approximately double. If the large roof is twice as insulated as the small roof the heat loss will be similar.
Does insulation rated R35 allow more or less heat to pass through it than insulation rated R1?
R35 insulation allows LESS heat to pass through than R1 insulation.
What will take in more heat R 5 insulation R 35 insulation?
Well, an R-5 will take in more heat because it is less than 35. Get it? Got it? Good.
Why apply insulation foam?
To improve insulation against heat or cold. Insulating foam is more efficient than fibreglass batts.
True or false insulation rated R-35 allows more heat to pass through it than insulation rated R-1?
false
Do black shingles hold in more heat in the attic than other colors?
Black shingles do hold in more heat in the attic than other colors. This is because black attracts more sunlight.
Do layers of insulation have better efficiency?
Yes, layers of insulation will offer better efficiency than one layer. This is because it keeps more heat out and keeps the cool air in.
Does a polystyrene cup hold more heat than a plastic cup?
Polystyrene
How does insulation affect body temperature?
Insulation affects body temperature by keeping heat around your body to keep your blood flowing. The most useful insulation article is usually wool. Several thin layers of insulation are more effective than fewer thick layers.
Does water hold more heat energy than pure or drinking alcohol?
yes
Why the heat capacity of water more than ice?
Water can hold more heat than ice before it changes states. For example, when you add heat to ice, it changes to water almost immediately. When you add heat to water it takes more to turn it into steam.
Would materials for insulation of any sort be better to keep in heat while wet?
No. They would be better when dry because more heat will conduct through water than through air.
Why would more heat be lost through walls than windows?
this would only be the case if you had no insulation in your walls and double pane windows, with lo-e.
