<p>Insulation Material = A measure of how easily heat flows through a material. Heat Flow (Q) = The amount of heat flowing away per second. Thermal Conductivity (u) = Materials that resist heat flow. Area (A) = The surface area through which heat flows. Temperature Difference (ΔT) = The difference in temperature between the two sides of the material.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Materials like clothes, double glass windows, and cavity walls that slow heat transfer.

The amount of heat transferring per second, measured in Joules per second (J/s).

A measure of how easily heat flows through a material, expressed in W/m²°C.

The difference in temperature between two sides of insulation, measured in °C.

A system that produces the same amount of energy it uses over a year, e.g., solar panels.
