Energy efficiency The addition of insulation to the outside walls of a house Use of fluorescent rather than incandescent Lower the thermostat setting Some temperature reduction can often be tolerated without undue discomfort, but carrying this approach too far may mean that saving energy carries with it a sacrifice of comfort on the part of the home occupants This element of sacrifice may appear in many situations Walk or ride a bicycle rather than driving a car Hanging the laundry out to dry rather than using a clothes dryer 复旦大学环境科学与工程系 Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University

The largest amount of house hold energy use in the Us is for space heating and natural gas is the predominant source of this energy. About 20% of the energy use in the us is for space heating. Prior to world war Ii in the 1940s, coal and wood were important sources of home heat Ideal house. perfect thermal insulation in the wall. windows roof and floors and no leakage of air into and out of the house and no radiation energy coming in or going out of the windows Any attempt to approach this ideal is limited in effectiveness by the cost and inconvenience of unreasonable amounts of insulation Nevertheless many well-designed houses have been built that require no separate heating system. They are heated adequately by existing internal sources of heat energy such as lights and cooking stoves 复旦大学环境科学与工程系 Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University

The thermal conductivity, k, is the property of a material without reference to its dimensions. In practice, one often knows the material and the dimensions of a wall. for instance In this case it is convenient to use the specification, R-value, which labeled on insulation and other building materials and it represents the en incorporates both the wall thickness and the material The r- value is ofte thermal resistance of a material For any slab of material it is given by r=l/, where l is the thickness of the slab and k is its thermal conductivity.
