Energy Efficiency in the Home
- Types of Heat Transfer
- Cavity Wall Insulation
- Foam squirted into the gap between the bricks
- Reduces convection and radiation across the gap
- Pockets of air in the foam reduce heat transfer by conduction
- Loft Insulation
- A thick layer of fibreglass wool laid out
across the whole loft floor
- Reduces conduction and radiation into the roof space
from the ceiling
- Draught Proofing
- Strips of foam and plastic around doors and windows to stop draughts of cold air blowing in
- Reduce heat loss due to convection
