attic, wall and floor insulation, weatherstripping ,energy efficient windows sealing drafts to name a few.
Friction requires energy to overcome it. This causes loss of energy in the system. Loss of energy in a system, by definition, is a reduction of efficiency.
by saving energy in homes etc.......
yes
It insulates the window and keeps heat in.
it stops cold air seeping throught little gaps in the roof because cold goes to hot not hot to cold
The main reasons are they help insulate the house and reduce heat loss therefore saving energy. They also help with sound insulation.
They both reduce heat loss in the house ;)
to reduce the energy loss due to frictional force.
no
no
The iron core of Transformers is laminated to reduce eddy currents, which cause a loss of energy.
