Basic principles of heat loss and energy consumption in a house. Publication ECR No. 1
Book
·
OSTI ID:5070176
The mechanics of building heat losses is described and the most economical steps which may be taken to minimize the heat losses are identified. The energy consumption data is presented in terms of gallons of fuel oil consumed annually by the various house components such as doors, windows, walls, ceilings, etc. The information is presented in 11 sections, i.e., energy consumption; insulation R factor; radiant energy; insulation (how it works); door and window heat loss; air infiltration and ventilation rates; the generation and dispersal of water vapor in a house; basement heat loss; the effect of turning down the thermostat; the heating efficiency of household furnaces; and the energy requirements of domestic hot water production.
