Simply: Losing energy to the outside of a system.

For example:

During the winter months a home is kept much warmer that the outside air. If the furnace/boiler were switched off the house would cool down. The heat energy that was trapped inside the home would dissipate to the ambient air.

What does energy dissipation?

Energy dissipation refers to the process by which energy is converted into a form that is not easily recovered or reused. This often occurs as waste heat or sound during the operation of systems or devices. Energy dissipation is a common occurrence in various natural and man-made processes.

Is heat load and heat dissipation same?

No, heat load refers to the amount of heat energy that a system generates or absorbs, while heat dissipation is the process by which this heat energy is transferred or released into the surrounding environment. Heat load is the input, while heat dissipation is the output.
