The image shows energy being transferred out of a warm building to the colder surroundings.Constructing walls that have a _____ thermal conductivity will cause energy to be transferred out of the building by conduction more slowly.Complete the sentence.lowergreaterequivalentquicker

The image below shows three different types of wall construction.Wall _____ will have the highest thermal conductivity.Type the letter of the wall to complete the sentence.

The use of fiberglass insulation in the outer walls of a building is intended to minimize heat transfer through the wall by what process?Select one:a.conductionb.radiationc.convectiond.vaporization

Identify which of the construction options below is least effective method of slowing down the energy transfer out of the house by conduction.Single layer of stone onlyCavityBricks and blocks with a low thermal conductivityInsulation

Which of the following is a FALSE statement about heat transfer:A) If an object is a good conductor of heat, it is a poor insulator.B) Even inside a cold room objects constantly radiate and absorb heat.C) Convection is the fastest form of heat transfer.D) Heat transfer by radiation propagates at the speed of light in a vacuum.E) Convection takes place in fluids.F) Radiation does not need a medium to propagate.Group of answer choices

There are three main ways that heat can be transferred (conduction, convection, and radiation), but they do not all affect the building envelope.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse
