Access to well-trained trades and professionals is a barrier to wide-scale market transformation for high performance buildings.

Building Science Knowledge Gap

7 | INNOVATION & INTEGRATION: Transforming the Energy Efficiency Market Buildings.Energy.gov

Builder Challenges*:

• Limited access to skilled trade partners • Lack of code official’s familiarity

with new techniques and products • Inconsistent quality control for building ratings • Lack of value recognition with appraisals

Content

2. Building Science Principles - 2.1 Heat Transfer

Level 1: Identify and

state the units for: heat flux,

heat rate, thermal

conductivity, temperature

gradient, emissivity, heat

transfer coefficient

Level 2: Define key

terms including conduction, convection, radiation,

energy, steady state.

Level 3: Calculate heat

transport, conductivity,

area or temperature difference

through a solid using Fourier’s

law.

Level 4: Draw a heat

transfer diagram that shows each mode of heat

transfer in context with the

geometry

Level 5: Determine the mode of heat transfer most important or

likely to occur in a system if

given information about the

substances/ processes involved.

Level 6: Design an integrated

hybrid thermal envelope
