When designing, we must take basic energy principles, such as heating into account.
Heat is a form of energy that is particularly relevant to building designers. Heating, cooling, and lighting involves the addition or subtraction of heat. That is why the basic measurement of how heat is transferred and stored is required. Without a temperature difference, there can not be a transfer of energy.
The three primary devices of heat are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction requires a direct physical contact. Convection requires a movement of a fluid such as air or water. Radiation occurs between surface.
