A. Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The surface area of the walls is 120m^2 and their inside surface is 18C while there outside surface is 5C.
