Best Answer

you have to understand a few scientific concepts. One being radiant heat. Radiant heat is when an object is heated and the heat you feel when you stand next to it The other thing is that hot air rises and cold air falls. Now there are a few ways to heat your house with radiant heat but most are by a hot water boiler. The boiler heats the water and the water is pumped through piping to a heating unit that when it is heated with the water it then radiat the heat into the room. The Heat rises and naturally pulls the cooler air into the heating unit and repeats the process until the air is heated to desired temp. Now that the water has given up its heat, the water flows back to the boiler to be reheated.

Why does heat energy leave the house?

Heat energy leaves the house due to convection, conduction, and radiation. Convection occurs when warm air rises and is replaced by cooler air, carrying heat energy out. Conduction transfers heat through direct contact with colder objects like windows and walls. Lastly, radiation allows heat energy to escape as infrared radiation through windows and gaps in insulation.
