AI Summary
This assignment explores the ways in which the human body gains or loses heat to its environment. It discusses the mechanisms of heat loss through evaporation, conduction, radiation, and convection. It also examines the main paths of heat loss in an uninsulated brick veneer house in Sydney during winter. Additionally, it covers the calculation of thermal conductance across a cavity wall and discusses the thermally efficiency of cavity brickwork in housing in Australia. Finally, it describes five strategies for passive solar cooling in hot dry climates and how angled louver blades can be designed to manage the entry of direct sunlight into a building in a location like Sydney.
