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.
What are the sustainable materials?
Sustainable materials Include : wood glass sheep Cotton fuel bottles wool clothes paper insulation clothes cork food bamboo
What is the unit of warmth of clothes?
The unit of warmth of clothes is typically measured in TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) or Clo value. These units quantify the insulation provided by the clothing, with higher values indicating greater warmth.
How does climate affect the type of house yo live in or the clothes you wear?
Climate influences the type of house you live in by dictating considerations like insulation, heating, and cooling needs. In colder climates, houses tend to have better insulation and heating systems. Similarly, climate affects the clothes you wear by prompting choices that provide warmth in colder regions or breathability in hotter climates.
Does your body warm up faster if you take your clothes off?
Think about it! If you are going outside and you put on heavy clothing and coat you are insulating yourself from the cold. Insulation retards the transfer of cold to your body. By the same token, if you are cold outside and wearing the same clothes and then go inside it will retard the warm from getting to your cold body (taking longer to warm up). So yes, if you remove the insulation (clothes) inside trying to get warm it will heat you quicker (faster). To sum up, it is the transfer of heat or cold, and the time it takes, that is affected by the insulation you wear, or not wear, and therefore whether you warm up or cool down faster.
How does climate affect the type of house you live in or the type of clothes you wear?
Climate influences the type of house you live in by dictating insulation, heating, and cooling needs. In colder climates, houses are often built with thicker insulation and heating systems, while in warmer climates, homes may have features like shade structures and cross ventilation. Climate also affects the type of clothes you wear by determining the level of insulation needed, leading to differences in fabric thickness and style based on temperature and humidity levels.
Why do people wear heavy clothes in the desert?
Primarily as insulation from the desert heat. I believe also that the cotton cloth wicks away sweat and helps cool the body.

What is refractory insulation?
