Answer:
Given
Cost of Electricity = $0.16 per KWh
1 Btu=0.293 Wh
Cost of Electricity per million Btu =0.16*0.293*10^6/1000=$46.88
For R11
Cost of Heat loss Per year = Heat loss* Cost of Electricity per million Btu=74*46.88=$3469.12
Cost of Heat loss for 24 years=Cost of Heat loss Per year *24=24*3469.12=$83258.88
R11 | R19 | R30 | R38 | |
Annual Heating Load(Per year) | 74*10^6 | 69.6*10^6 | 67*10^6 | 66.3*10^6 |
Investment Cost ($) | 2200 | 3800 | 5200 | 6500 |
Cost of Heat Loss Per year ($) | 3469.12 | 3262.848 | 3140.96 | 3108.144 |
Cost of loss over 24 years($) | 83258.88 | 78308.35 | 75383 | 74595.46 |
Total Life Cycle Cost ($) | 83258.88 | 78308.35 | 75383 | 74595.46 |

Consider a house in Blacksburg, Virginia. The typical annual space-heating load for this size of a house is 100 x 10 Btu. That is, with no insulation in the attic, we lose about 100 x 106 Btu per year. With insulation in the attic the amount of heat lost each year will be reduced. The value of energy savings that results from adding insulation and reducing heat loss is dependent on what type of residential heating furnace is installed. Assume...
summarizr the followung info and write them in your own words and break them into different key points. 6.5 Metering Chamber: 6.5.1 The minimum size of the metering box is governed by the metering area required to obtain a representative test area for the specimen (see 7.2) and for maintenance of reasonable test accuracy. For example, for specimens incorporating air spaces or stud spaces, the metering area shall span an integral number of spaces (see 5.5). The depth of...
