Water Heaters - A water heater that uses electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. Heat Sink - A structure or media that absorbs heat. Heat Source - A structure or media from which heat can be absorbed or extracted. Heat Storage - A device or media that absorbs heat for storage for later use. The amount of heat that a material can absorb and store.
Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler material or space.
Heat Transmission Coefficient - Any coefficient used to calculate heat transmission by conduction, convection, or radiation through materials or structures. The utilization of solar energy through photosynthesis. Heliodon - A device used to simulate the angle of the sun for assessing shading potentials of building structures or landscape features. Heliothermal - Any process that uses solar radiation to produce useful heat. Heliothermic - Site planning that accounts for natural solar heating and cooling processes and their relationship to building shape, orientation, and siting.
