How to prevent heat loss during cold temperature?
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009In cold temperature region as here in Canada, people have learned that heat cost climbs during the winter. It is not a secret that we must heat our home to live comfortably.
One of the biggest issue is insulation, old houses owners know what I am talking about, cracks in the window’s frames, doors that leak, windows not sealed correctly make the heat escape. The laws of heat transfer is:
Heat flows from hot place to cold place that is called transfer of thermal energy.That means the heat from your house is always trying to find a way to go out. In this struggle that we have to find ways to keep that heat inside. Inour perspective as solar control specialist and energy saving audit, I will tell you that the biggest material that permit this transfer in your house is the glass.
Glass conducts the heat, but with low-e film you can be save. Low-e film stop up to 25 % pourcent of the heat transfer during the cold temperature. From other benefit it will keep up to 85% of the heat outside during the summer time. Additionnally, your furnishes will last longer : carpet, hardwood floor, furniture, curtains will not fade as there is nothing yon your glass.
When you add window film to your house , you will do more than just create a cosy place to live, you will start saving some money and protecting the environment.
If you live in single home , it is more than important to cover all your windows as the heat will escape from all sides of the house and the bill can surely be bitter. covering all the window will lead to a drop temperature of around 2-4 degres celsius in heating.
You can even just cover the most exposes window the one that faces the east or the north.
