A homeowner wants to reduce their monthly heating bill and carbon footprint and is considering replacing a 20cm x 40cm x .50cm single pane window with a double pane to help in this endeavor. The double pane glass window is advertised to reduce thermal energy loss by 67%. The thermal conductivity of glass is .84 W/(m*K). Find the heat lost every minute by the single paned window if the temperature difference between inside and outside of the house is 14C.
