Cavity Wall Insulation |
foam squirted into the gap between the bricks reduces convection and radiation across the gap. Pockets of air in the foam reduce heat transfer by conduction |
|
Loft Insulation |
a thick layer of fibreglass wool laid out across the whole loft floor reduces conduction and radiation into the roof space and the ceiling |
|
draught proofing |
strips of foam and plastic around doors and windows stop draughts of cold air blowing in, reducing heat loss due to convection |
|
hot water tank jacket |
lagging such as fibreglass wool reduces convection and radiation |
|
Thick curtains |
big bits of cloth over the window to reduce heat loss by conduction and radiation |
