| P1.1.4 Heating and insulating buildings | P1 Lesson 13 U-Values | ||
| a | U-values measure how effective a material is as an insulator. | Know what a U-value is and what it tells us about the material as an insulator. | |
| b | The lower the U-value, the better the material is as an insulator. | Be able to evaluate the effectiveness of different types of material used for insulation, including U-values and economic factors including payback time. | |
| c | Solar panels may contain water that is heated by radiation from the Sun. This water may then be used to heat buildings or provide domestic hot water. | Be able to evaluate the efficiency and cost effectiveness of methods used to reduce ‘energy consumption’. | |
