how 4 ways in which heat can escape from a house?

Heat can escape from a house through conduction, where warmth transfers through walls, windows, and roofs; convection, where warm air rises and is replaced by cooler air; radiation, where heat is emitted from surfaces in the form of infrared energy; and air leakage, where drafts from gaps and cracks allow warm air to escape and cold air to enter. Proper insulation and sealing can help minimize these heat losses.


Why is insulation used in walls of buildings?

To keep heat in - and cold out. Many buildings are poorly insulated ( the 'standard' house-brick is the main culprit. This lets heat escape through the walls (and roofs) of buildings. Insulation traps the heat inside.


Should you insulate your hydronic heat pipes in the basement?

If the basement has ventilation to outside, the answer is yes. Heat loss from the pipes will escape outside the house. If the basement is closed to the outside then no, the pipes need not be insulated. Any heat lost from the pipes will provide some heating to the basement that will rise into the house.


Why is plastic foam good at reducing heat loss?

It fills in spaces where air can penetrate and your conditioned air can escape. It is also great for keeping insects from entering your home.


How can you transfer heat from inner of machine to surroundings?

Originally machines that have any sort of heating problems come with a way of keeping the components that cause the heat to cool off. A way I suppose you could cool it off is to make a vent or partially open it somewhere to give the heat inside it an escape and a way to give it cool air if it doesn't already have a vent.
