Where does the house lose energy?

The two rooms each have a heater at the bottom and "leaks" near the top.

  1. Run the model and look for leaking energy.
  2. Click on the wall and roof elements and drag the small yellow rectangles on their edges to change the sizes and locations of the leaks.
  3. Note the convection pattern in each situation.

After you have completed your investigation, answer the questions in your workbook.
