Climate change and controlling body temperature: Putting it all together

Standard house 3 Suppose that the following design changes are made to the house described in the previous two problems: (i) additional insulation of walls, roof, and floors, cutting thermal losses by 60%; (ii) tightly fitting double-glazed windows with selective coatings to reduce the passage of infrared light, cutting conduction losses by 70%; and (iii) elimination of cracks, closing of flues, and so on, cutting infiltration losses by 70%. What is the total rate at which energy is lost from this house?
