The questions can be skipped through without answering by clicking “next”. Students could be asked to complete the questions in their books and the activity could be concluded by the completion on the IWB. Calculating cost-effectiveness cavity wall – A wall made up of two layers of bricks with an air gap between them, which reduces heat lost by conduction. cavity wall insulation – Plastic foam insulation that is pumped into the gap in a cavity wall to prevent heat lost due to convection in the cavity. cost-effectiveness – A comparison of the annual savings in reduced energy bills and the cost of insulation. double glazing – Two panes of glass with an air gap between them, which reduces heat lost by conduction. The air can be sucked out of the gap to create a vacuum. draught excluder – A hairy or spongy strip that prevents draughts escaping through the gaps around doors and windows, and so reduces heat loss. Glossary (1/2) loft insulation – A material which contains trapped air and helps to reduce heat lost through the roof of a house. insulator – A material that is a very poor conductor of heat and so can be used to reduce heat loss. payback time – The time it takes for the cost of insulation to be equalled by the savings from reduced energy bills. vacuum flask – A vacuum flask is a bottle with double walls separated by a vacuum. It reduces heat transfer and so keeps warm drinks warm and cold drinks cold.
