Climate change and controlling body temperature: Putting it all together

Standard house 1 On an average winter day (3 °C or 38 °F) in a typical house, energy already in the house is lost at the following rates: (i) 2.1 kW is lost through partially insulated walls and the roof by conduction; (ii) 0.3 kW is lost through the floor by conduction; and (iii) 1.9 kW is lost by conduction through the windows. Additional heating is also needed at the following rates: (iv) 2.3 kW to heat the air infiltrating the house through cracks, flues, and other openings and (v) 1.1 kW to humidify the incoming air (because warm air must contain more water vapor than cold air for people to be comfortable). What is the total rate at which energy is lost from this house?
