Your Home Loses & Gains Energy in 3 Ways

Convection (The transfer of heat by moving air): Warm air rises and transfers heat to the ceiling.

Conduction (The transfer of heat through a solid material): Heat is transferred from warmer sections of the walls and ceilings to cooler sections.

Radiation (The transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves): Heat is transferred from the roof to the ceiling.
