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.
Why the air conditioner is bad for the environment?
It uses up energy to cool and creates more heat to do that, which it releases into the environment. Many air conditioners also contain hydrofluorocarbons which destroy the ozone when released into the air. Air conditioners are also negative for your body's natural adaptation to hot and cold environments. The more time you spend in air conditioning, the less able your body is to coping with actual heat when you move outside an air conditioned environment.
What type of insulation is for a pole building?
Pole buildings (metal skinned buildings) offer unique challenges for an insulation system. It sweats. It also gets very cold in winter and very hot in summer. These types of buildings also make alot of noice when it rains or hails. Reflective insulation has become a standard component of a total insulation system. It is designed for both new construction and retrofits. Using reflective insulation for either your pole building or home will increase the comfort level inside, protect against condensation and save on energy costs. It can be used as a stand alone or supplemental insulation. While other types of insulation are made to resist or impede the flow of warm air, reflective insulation reflects back radiant (infra-red) energy from the sun so it does not penetrate the building. It can also reflect back radiant heat inside the house so it does not escape. The concept is simple: each unit of radiant heat energy that is reflected away from your pole building in summer and each unit reflected back inside during winter means less operation of your air conditioning and heating systems, less wear and tear on your equipment, and less money you pay in utility costs. During the winter, 50-75% of heat loss through the ceiling and 65-80% of heat loss through walls is radiant. In the summer, up to 93% of heat gain is radiant. If you are depending on R-value (resistance) alone to insulate against heat gain and loss, you are losing half the battle. You'll find the most popular reflective insulations such as Prodex Total Insulation at www.Insulation4Less.com. Prodex Total insulation reduces or eliminates condensation, provides 19db sound proofing, reflects out 97% of the radiant energy and reflects back toward the inside - either the cool air of an air conditioner or warmth generated by a heater. There is no better insulation for a pole building.
Why coefficient of performance of absorption cycle is less than compression cycle?
In case of vapour compression cycle (VCC) the COP is given by (desired effect / work input). in the other words it can be defines as what we want and what we are paying for that... so in VCC the paying amount is very less as due to low temperature difference that why its value is more than 1. but in case of vapour absorption system the COP is given by (heat taken by evaporator/ heat given to generator). the heat input taken by evaporator is less as compared to heat given to generator.. that why its COP is less than 1......
What are the advantages of using recycled building materials?
There are many advantages to using recycled building materials. First, using recycled building materials is good for the environment and helps to save natural resources. Secondly, the cost of recycled building materials is usually less than buying them new.
How could having foam walls be good for the environment?
They reduce heat loss through the walls, hence you need less fuel (directly or at the power-station) to heat the building and maintain the temperature for a given heat rise and time.
What is something every person can do to reduce their carbon footprint?
turn off the lights when leaving the room Use the fan instead of air conditioning heat the house less in the winter
What are the benefits of insulated windows in a home?
The benefits of insulated windows in a home have to do with temperature and noise. If you have insulated windows, you'll spend less on heat or air conditioning, as your windows will let less heat or cold out. Insulated windows also provide a small amount of noise dampening, which can be nice if you live in a noisy place.
Less friction means more or less heat?
Less heat
Why does the wall of a building get cold?
It doesn't actually. Before you touch the wall of the building it is the same temperature as the surrounding air, but the wall conducts (transfers) heat well, so heat leaves the wall into your body any makes that section of the wall you're touching slightly colder than, say, a piece of cloth in the building because it conducts heat less than the wall.
Does a liquid become a solid when there is more heat or less heat?
less heat
A Freon leak in the air conditioning system of an older car releases 25 g of per month?
I would say that it depends on the size of the freon leak, could be less, could be more.
What are the effects of shampooing and conditioning hair?
The effects of shampooing and conditioning your hair is it wont be greasy, will be easier the style and will have less knots.
Where did people go when there was no air conditioning?
Wherever was less warm.
How could you use less fuel to heat your homes?
keep the house cooler and wear a jumper
How can people have a positive effect on what causes global warming?
Some of the many things one can do to have a positive effect on global warming causes are to recycle, use less air conditioning and heat, drive less, plant trees, use energy-efficient products, and use less hot water.
Which is more efficient in heating and air conditioning, gas or water?
You can only get gas heating and air conditioning. The gas heating and air conditioning is less because it uses less gas then how much water you would be using. The electricity for the heater and AC can be fairly cheep.
