What are some ways engineers seismically retrofit a building and why is such retrofit so important?
There are a variety of methods for retrofitting buildings available to engineers. A summary list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_retrofit Retrofitting is extremely important as many of the high-rise and large population capacity buildings that were built early in the 20th century, were built prior to the adoption of building codes which account for multiple load conditions. Multiple load conditions were established to determine a "worst case scenario" for structural loading. This helps ensure that a building will survive a loading situation that would otherwise cause the building to fail. As such, retrofitting becomes the sole method of ensuring that pre-code buildings are brought up to code to ensure the safety of their occupants.
Describe three ways heat can be transferred in a boiler?

Ways to reduce heat from a house?
There are several ways to reduce heat from a house. This included opening the windows and doors at least once a day. This is known as cross ventilation, which helps secure cool air in homes and offices. You can also increase airflow by using fans and the AC system.
What are the ways of transferring a huge amount of heat energy in a condenser of a power plant into electrical energy?
Good question because a huge amount of energy comes out of the condenser. Unfortunately the heat is at a relatively low temperature so it can't really be used for very much except space heating. There is not much demand for space heating round a power plant. Obviously the energy is used to keep the workers warm in the buildings of the power plant but that uses only a tiny fraction of the available energy. Some factories use a system where they have their own power plant to generate the electrical power they need, and the waste heat is piped round the factory to keep the workers warm. This is a very efficient use of the fuel and is called CHP - combined heat and power. When the present glut of fossil fuels expires there will be more incentive to develop ways of using energy more efficiently.
Three ways a house may be insulated to stop heat loss?
Seal around windows (caulk), weather strip doors and insulate the attic.
Which fabrics are better insulators?
three main ways. they retain body heat, they block weather, the provide air gaps.
What are two ways that people can use the energy from the sun?
Hi im a fifth grader and my answer is that we use the suns energy to heat water and to heat air in buildings.
How do humans thermoregulate in cold and warm situations?
In cold situations, the human body shivers to produce heat and the blood vessels constrict to retain heat, in hot situations the human body sweats to release heat. These are the ways the body thermoregulates.
What ways did they retain their identities in animal farm?
.
How do you retain employee?
There are so many ways through which you can retain an employee. The most common ways is providing a conducive work environment, good pay rate and benefits among others.

What are some examples of solar energy transfer?
Solar energy transfer can occur in various ways, such as through the process of photosynthesis in plants, where sunlight is converted into chemical energy. Additionally, solar panels can transfer solar energy into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Another example is passive solar heating, where buildings are designed to absorb and retain heat from the sun to warm interior spaces.
List 2 ways you use heat energy?
Heat energy is used to cook food by transferring heat to the food, causing it to cook or bake. It is also used in heating systems to warm buildings or water for various domestic and industrial purposes.
How do clothes act as an insulation?
Clothes act as insulation in two ways. First, they keep outside elements from making direct contact with your skin. Second, they retain the body's heat to keep it from escaping, especially on cold days.

How does physical geography affect humans?
Physical Geography is the natural side of geography. Weather, rocks, soils, etc. Human is cities, roads, buildings, urbanization, etc. We humans affect physical geography by living. We build roads and buildings. Our cities cause a heat island which is kind of a bubble of heat in urban areas. This is hotter than the surrounding cities. It can influence rain and climate downwind of the heat island. We dump things chancing the soils. There are other ways, but this is a general start on some of the ways that human geography affects physical geography.
Heat = a variety?
You can make heat in a variety of ways!
