Follow-up Question

Calculate the amount of heat that is needed to keep the inside temperature at 20 0C
when it is at 3
0C outside in a flat in the middle of the development which has an outside
window area of 6m2 within a total external wall and window area of 28m2
 with a U value of
1.2 watts/m2 Co and compare to a flat on the top floor at one end where the window area is
doubled and the external wall area is three times as big. The U value of the walls is
0.23watts/m2 Co
