Fuel Poverty (england) - (correct Answer) - Low Income, Low Energy Efficency Indicator: Income below
poverty line and ECP below C
Causes of Fuel Poverty - (correct Answer) - High energy costs
Low Income
Energy inefficient Homes
18c to 24c - (correct Answer) - Reccomended daytime temp for occupied rooms. No risk to healthy
people.
Below 16c - (correct Answer) - Risk of respiratory illness, cold and flu.
Below 12c - (correct Answer) - Blood thickens
=
poor circulation
higher blood pressure
=
higher risk of stroke and heart attack
Below 9c - (correct Answer) - core body temp drops
risk of hypothermia
poor mental health outcomes too.
Affordable warmth - (correct Answer) - Energy Advice
Improve Energy Efficiency
Income Maximisation
Radiation - (correct Answer) - Heat travels in straight lines
, e.g. the sun
some electric, gas and solid fuel room heaters give out radiant heat
Convection - (correct Answer) - Heat moves from warm spot to colder spot.
air and water
becomes lighter (less dense) when warmer and rises.
Conduction - (correct Answer) - Movement of heat through a material
structure of molecules in material effect speed of heat movement.
therefore conduction of a material is relevant when considering house construction
Electric fan heater - (correct Answer) - instant heat to room
100% efficient
heat movement = convection
controls:
thermostat
heat settings
fan control
Electric Convector heater - (correct Answer) - elements at bottom which heat up
convection
expensive to run
