Answer to Question #125611 in Physics for Yusam

Question

Generally walls of houses are poor conductors of heat. Explain two benefits of this in relation to heat transfer in the house

Answer 1

In this regard, we can mention two main benefits: in the winter time, or when it is cold, the walls will not transfer the heat inside the house to the environment. During hot weather, since the walls conduct heat at a very low rate, this will help to keep the air inside the house colder than the hot air outside.
