What is the exterior of a building called?
It's most often denoted as the "outside".
What are u-values?
A U value is a measure of heat loss in a building element such as a wall, floor or roof. It can also be referred to as an 'overall heat transfer co-efficient' and measures how well parts of a building transfer heat. This means that the higher the U value the worse the thermal performance of the building envelope. A low U value usually indicates high levels of insulation. They are useful as it is a way of predicting the composite behaviour of an entire building element rather than relying on the properties of individual materials. By Andreea Teodora Merlan
How do you work out exterior angle for a triangle?
It is: 180-interior angle = exterior angle
How many exterior angles does a heptagon have?
7 is the answer:4 exterior and 3 interior
How many exterior angles does a octagon have?
8: 4 exterior 4 interior
What device might you use to heat a building?
You can use a furnace or a heating system like a boiler or a heat pump to heat a building. These devices are designed to generate and distribute heat throughout the building to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
Why is a heat pump able to heat and cool the same building?
A heat pump is an air conditioner working in reverse. When the unit is in cooling mode, it moves heat from the interior to the exterior. When the unit is in heat mode, it moves heat from the exterior to the interior.In most cases, the thermostat controls the necessary components that perform the reversing process necessary to change from heating mode to cooling mode.
What is called a layer of material that helps block the transfer of heat between the air inside and outside a building?
This layer is called insulation. It helps maintain a consistent temperature inside the building by reducing the transfer of heat between the interior and exterior environments.
How tall is an exterior wall?
Exterior walls vary in height depending on the building design.
When you see a building from the outside you see its?
exterior?
What is the definition of a exterior wall?
An exterior wall is simply a wall that has one of its surfaces on the outside of a building. Exterior walls usually have windows and doors, but not all the time. Both sides of interior walls are inside the building.
What is the definition of a building footprint?
== One definition== A building footprint is the outline of the total area of a lot or site that is surrounded by the exterior walls of a building or portion of a building, exclusive of courtyards.
A heat engine is a device that converts work into heat?
No, a heat engine is not a device that converts work into heat. It is the opposite, which means it is a device that converts heat into work.
Is asbestos survey needed for exterior of a building?
Yes, it can be. It depends on the local building regulations.
Is a device that regulates heat?
In a hot water heater, a thermostat regulates the heat
What is a greenhouse and how does it work?
It's a device (structure) that allows heat to get in freely, but holds it in so that the heat builds up. Classically it is a building with walls and roof made of glass: the sunlight gets in but it's hard for the heat to get out.
Is a connector on the exterior of a computer into which a peripheral device may be plugged?
Port
