Question

I need help with the second table.

and these questions

 

1- If 1 gallon of oil = 1.4 therm, how many gallons have been wasted by heat loss in Feb? (1 therm = 100,000 BTU)

 

2- If $1.30 per therm, how much did you waste from house heat loss in Feb?

 

 

Window insulation: U-factor and R-value:
U-factor measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping a home or building (thermal conductivity). U-factor
ratings generally fall between 0115 and 1.20. (See more at: http://www.nfrc.org/windowratings/Energy-
ratings.html#sthash.EUkrrint.dpuf) A lower U-factor means a better-insulating window.
The more common term R-value refers to the resistance of the window to heat conduction, and it is the inverse of the U-
factor (that is, R-value=1/U-factor). Better windows have high R-values and low U-factors.
Determine all surface type of areas in Table 8-1 from the house in figure 1 and calculate R-values with the given U-factor.

b) Ceiling (Assume the ceiling area is the same as rectangular floor
area, A-L x W)
c) Total window x 8 ea
