Study Notes
Effects of High Temperatures
- Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to heat stress, dehydration, and heatstroke.
Insulation in Buildings
- Insulation in buildings is primarily used to reduce heat transfer, keeping the interior comfortable and energy efficient.
Heat Transfer Methods
- Conduction, convection, and radiation are all methods of heat transfer.
Factors Affecting Thermal Comfort
- Factors influencing human thermal comfort include air temperature, humidity, air movement, and clothing. Personal factors like metabolism and age also play a role.
Heat Loss in Buildings
- Heat loss in buildings is typically highest during the winter months when the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures is greatest.
