A common conservation message is " .. 60% of the heat just goes out the windows/doors/walls ...".

In fact all the energy goes from the building, otherwise it would get over hot.

It is the timescale of the loss of energy that is important, and this may be changed by proper design and construction.

Have a look at passive solar in an on-line encyclopedia. And use the information when you can!

Light energy is proof of which Conservation Law?

I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum.

Which of the conservation law does not apply to an inelastic collision?

Both conservation laws are applied. The conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. However, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved. But total energy IS CONSERVED and the principle of conservation of energy does hold.

How is friction different from the laws of conservation of energy?

There are no "laws" of conservation of energy, just the law of conservation of energy. The existence of friction doesn't change anything - the law of conservation of energy still holds.


What is the conservation energy?

Perhaps you mean "energy conservation", or equivalently, "conservation of energy". That refers to the fact that there is a quantity called energy, which can't be increased or decreased (in a closed system).
