Why do all modern houses have double glazing?
Not all modern houses have double glazing, though double gazing id a very commonplace practice. Double glazing significant reduces the rate at which heat penetrates the house reducing heating, and cooling costs.
How does a simple generator work?
A generator is a electro-mechanical device which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. The basic concept is when a wire passes through a magnetic field, it causes the electrons to flow perpendicular to the field. Remember the right hand rule? If your fingers are in the direction of the field, your thumb is the direction of electrical current. Depending on the type of motor, the rotor (shaft) and stator (houses the rotor) will contain the wires or magnets. A motor is no different then a generator as it provides the kinetic energy by applying electrical energy.
How were ancient Rome houses heated?

What are solar houses?
A solar house is a device that utilizes the sun's radiant energy to replace some of the conventional energy sources to bring the room to a certain ambient temperature or to supply power to indoor electrical equipment.
What is one way in which the rate of energy transfer from houses can be reduced?
One way to reduce the rate of energy transfer from houses is to improve insulation by sealing drafts and upgrading to energy-efficient windows and doors. This helps to keep heat in during winter and out during summer, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems.
Do you have a higher carbon footprint for heating a detached house or a semi-detached house and why?
Heating a detached house typically results in a higher carbon footprint compared to a semi-detached house because detached houses have more exterior walls and less shared space, which leads to higher heat loss and increased energy usage for heating. Additionally, detached houses tend to have larger square footage, requiring more energy to heat the space effectively.
What are some ways we use solar energy?
We use solar energy today for a variety of needs: Cooking food in a solar oven Converting to electricity to run appliances, cars and satellites Heating homes and offices Heating water for cooking, bathing, Swimming Pools, fish ponds Heating green houses to grow crops in the winter
A houses location might affect how energy is used.Explain your answer?
If a house is in a cold environment, more energy may be required for heating. And if it is in a dark place (say, between mountains, or in a cloudy area), more energy may be required for lights.
What was the name for the underground heating in roman houses?

What is the difference between Indian and London houses?
Indian houses don't need central heating.
How is geothermal used as an energy source?
It is used for heating houses and sometimes the hot water that comes from the ground (geothermal water) is used as a freshwater pool and also for cooking.
What does Donald Trump do for fun?
