BPI Building Science Principles Chapter
2: Heat and Insulation
The Big 3 - importance to home performance - correct answer ✔Heat, air
and moisture
First Law of Thermodynamics - correct answer ✔-energy moves from place
to place
-energy changes from one form to another
-energy cannot be created or destroyed
Second Law of Thermodynamics - correct answer ✔Energy flow naturally
from high concentrations to low concentrations.
-from warmer to cooler (heat)
-from higher pressure to lower pressure (air)
-from wetter to drier (moisture)
