Question
A house has a three meter deep basement
(foundation) wall that is in a 10 meter by
eight meter rectangular shape based on
interior dimensions. On average, 2.5 meters
of the wall is below grade.
Assume the outside air temperature is 38°C
and the inside temperature is 20°C; there is
an average ground temperature of 27°C.
Determine the rate of heat loss through the
wall if it is insulated with an R-value of
about 30°C.m^2/W.
