Curb on Heat Leaks
Will Make Big Cut
In Fuel Costs
Suggestions Are Given
For Increasing Houses
Winter Efficiency

II your house were 100 per cent
efficient as container of heat, and
II there were never any loss of heat
by opening doors and windows, your
winter fuel bill might amount to
only the price of half ton of coal.
It is the heat that leaks out that
keeps you firing the furnace or
burning oil and gas. To keep fuel
costs down, locate and plug the
leaks. OF course, you will never
stop all heat losses. but you can cut
your fuel bill in half.
There are two main kinds of heat
joss-radiation and filtration. The
former is the loss of heat directly
through materials because one side
is cold and the other warm. The
latter is loss of heat through small
openings which permit direct pas
sage Of warm air out to cold.
Insulation Is Help.
Radiation is best reduced through
insulation and dead air spaces
which retard the rate of tempera-
ture transfer between materials.
Filtration is best retarded by
weather. stripping and storm sash
and doors. Radiation never can be
completely overcome-but filtration
can be reduced TO practically zero.
Misunderstanding alone cannot do
It. but combination of weather.
stripping and sash will do it.
The following figures tell where
the heat you pay for, but don't get,
is going:
Twentysix per cent loss through
glass This figure includes trans
mission OF heat through the panes
themselves. but not leakage around
the sash.
Twenty and sight-t -tenths per cent
loss through cracks. Filtration
around sash and door frames ac-
counts for this amount of the
average heat wasted.
Fourteen and eight-tenths per
cent loss through roof. This figure
includes also loss of heat through
attic floors. Remember: In summer
the heat will come in
Biggest Loss Through Walls.
Twenty-nine and siX-tenths per
cent loss through walls. The larg-
est figure of all, averaging the losses
in every type of wood or masonry
dwelling.
Eight and eight-tenths per cent
loss through floors Faulty cellar
construction and inadequate sub
flooring account for the great part
Of this surprising percentage.
Note that cracks are responsible
for 20 per cent or one-flfth of the
heat loss in your home Doors and
windows account for 46.8 per cent
of all heat loss through the struc-
ture OF typical two-story house
by the important routes of inf1ltra-
ton and conductivity. In the win
ter storm doors and windows will
save most of this heat loss. In view
Of the fact that the savings in fuel
as the result of storm doors and
windows goes on year after year. can
pou really afford not to spend a
little to save more?
Why try to heat all outdoors this
winter
