Parent Project: Building Science Fundamentals

Teaser Description:

In this module, the concepts of heat and thermal energy transfer are explored along with the governing equation for one-dimensional steady state heat flow. To understand how materials actually resist heat flow and what material properties affect thermal resistance, the fundamental heat transfer mechanisms of Conduction, Convection and Radiation are presented.

Then, the transfer of heat across the building envelope is examined and a method of computing the combined thermal resistance of building materials arranged in series is presented.
