UNDERSTANDING HEATING TERMS

Q

: I admit to being a first time homeowner. When I got to the Building Centres and ask questions about heat loss and insulation, I find the terms confusing, can you help?

A

WATERFRONT PARK ACCESS

heat inside your home is constantly trying to leave the home and warm the outside air. As a cost conscious homeowner you are trying to retain as much of this expensive heat as possible. You will not contain all of the heat in an average home. You must have some air exchange and even the best built energy efficient homes have heat recovery ventilators installed to bring in fresh air and exhaust stale air

and courses to help me. Let’s start with a basic understanding of heat flow. Forget the myth that heat only rises, heat will flow in any direction out of a home. As a form of energy it flows from warm to cool. We use temperatures to measure the amount of heat energy. Heat will travel to any area where there is a differential in the temperature. Heat will not always radiate to the coldest spot, rather it will go to any area that has less heat. The

The Kingston Whig-Standard

Heat moves in different ways, conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction heat moves from hot to cold. For example, if you grab a warm cup of coffee the heat of the cup quickly tells you the cup is hot. The theory of fibreglass insulation is that it reduces this movement with tiny pockets of air in the batts that are poor conductors of heat. Convection is the movement of air and how it moves from hot to cold. Your furnace is a simple example of forced convection when you move the warm air around inside your home. Radiation is commonly understood, if you stand in the sun, you get burned by radiation. Heat loss is the measure we use to establish the amount of

heat required to warm a building of a certain size and external walls. If you take a simple four sided rectangular bungalow it may cost 1000.00 a year to heat. If you take the same building and change the floor plan to arrive at a multiple number of exterior walls, yet still have the same square footage it is commonly know this can increase the heat loss by 20%. This is why having a heat loss calculation done if you are sizing your home for a new furnace or air conditioner is a good idea. The two terms, R-Factor and RSI value are often referred to in the same breath, R-Factor is the imperial scale and RSI is the metric conversion. There is no difference here. A lot of insulation is sold with both terms on the packaging. The ability of certain insulation

materials to resist the flow of heat is measured in thermal resistance and this is how the “R” is measured. For example a conventional fibreglass batt has the R factor of 3.5 per inch. Loose fill fibreglass has an “R” factor of 2.9 per inch. A conventional fibreglass batt for a 2x4 frame home has an R12 factor, these batts are just over 3 ?” thick. Today we recommend a minimum wall “R” factor of R20 and your attic should be no less than R32 and R40 would be preferred. When you are figuring out insulation levels, stick with one term or the other, it can get confusing very quickly. One suggestion I think would help our reader is to contact his local EcoEnergy Provider. This program is latest update from the original EnerGuide

10,000.00 per home. If you go to www.ecoaction.gc.ca, this will link you up with more information. One note to the wise, don’t go overboard, the theory that if 12 inches of insulation is good then 24 inches should be twice as good, its not. Spend your insulation dollars wisely, think of your home as a system and install reasonable levels of insulation given the age and assembly method of your home, pay attention to air loss by caulking and air sealing and give some consideration to the air exchange in your home, humans cannot live in a plastic bag.

Or, modify baby or bridal shower games to fit a holiday theme. Door prize games, or "Pin the Red Nose on Rudolph" are silly ideas that can add up to fun, especially when the cocktails are flowing. • Create the mood with lights and music: Christmas and New Year's are celebrated in most areas during the darkest days of winter.

t's that season for making party rounds and opening up homes to friends and family. Maybe it's your turn to play host or hostess and you're not sure where to start or how to set your party apart from the others. More importantly, you want to ensure guests have a good time.

• Involve guests in decorating: Short on time? Gather up supplies for decorating and advertise that you're having a tree-trimming or house-trimming party on your invitations. Allow guests to get crafty and be involved in dressing up your home. • Don't fret about food: You don't have to be a gourmet chef to host a winning party. If food isn't your forte, don't worry about catering the event or looking to pre-packaged appetizers and snacks. As guests mingle and hop from party to party, they're not going to be looking for an elaborate sit-down dinner. Fresh veggies and dips, bite-sized finger foods and the like are standard party fare. If you want to get creative, take any of your favorite foods and just make them in miniature. Tiny burgers, bite-sized pizzas, and

• Cocktail savvy: Stock the bar with the old standards for variety and come up with one signature drink you can make in bulk. Why not try a frosty punch and give it a theme-inspired name, such as "Winter Wonderland"? Be sure to have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks on hand for those designated drivers.

• Dessert bar: Top off the evening with a dessert bar where guests can create and garnish their own desserts. Set out ice cream and fixings, a fondue pot with skewers of fruit, different pies with nuts and whipped cream, or any other combination you can think of. Try out a couple of these tips for a memorable evening that doesn't take much planning.

MAKE THE HOLIDAYS HARMONIOUS FOR PETS, TOO elebrants all over may look forward to the holidays for the hustle and bustle they bring, but the same sentiments may not be expressed by pets ... if they could talk, that is.

• Don't use poisonous plants in your holiday decor. Holly, ivy, mistletoe, and poinsettias can be deadly if consumed by most animals. Go with faux plants instead if you desire the look.

Safeguard against the tree tipping over by securing it with a piece of fishing line anchored into the ceiling or a wall. Also, don't put lit candles or breakables on areas where cats like to pounce.

Pets that aren't used to a lot of foot traffic in a home or loud events could become anxious when holiday guests arrive and the fun ensues. Further stress could be added by lack of attention on the part of pet owners and the changes of the home environment through the addition of decorations and a Christmas tree.

• Keep your pets on a steady diet and resist the urge to feed them leftovers from holiday dinner. Abrupt changes in your dog or cat's diet can cause stomach distress, vomiting and diarrhea.

• Involve pets in the festivities by buying a special treat that they can enjoy for good behavior during the holidays. A new chew or chase toy is a nice idea.

Christmas and New Years also present a host of hazards to pets. It's important to be aware of these dangers to keep pets safe. Keep these pointers in mind:

• Set aside a quiet space your pets can retreat to when there's just too much commotion in another area of the house. However, putting a dog in the backyard if it is extremely cold is simply off limits. A dark bedroom away from the activity is best. • Cats love to climb and may take to your Christmas tree.

• If you will be traveling during the holidays, make sure your pets are adequately secured in the car and not allowed to roam freely. Use a travel crate or a special seat belt to keep the animals in place. With some planning and care, you can ensure your pets will be comfortable and content during the holiday season.

HOLIDAY HOSTING TIPS TO KEEP GUESTS SAFE By Metro Creative Source

W

hen it comes to the holidays, tradition tends to reign supreme. Be it when a family opens their presents, where they open those presents or what they eat for dinner, customs rule the roost for most.

A tradition many families share during the holidays is the annual holiday party. An informal way of getting together with family and friends, a holiday party is a time for people to let loose during a season where friends and good cheer go hand in hand. However, as any local police force can attest, some tend to overdo it at holiday parties and the results can be anything but jolly.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the average number of fatalities in crashes involving at least one impaired driver was 40 percent higher for the Christmas holiday period than the rest of December in 2006, and 60 percent higher for the New Year's Day holiday period that same year. Those statistics illustrate the tendency for people to let their alcohol consumption get out of control during the holiday season, a potential problem not only for those driving the roads this holiday season, but those hosting parties as well. Thanks to host laws, inContinued On Page 34

Those hosting holiday parties can take several steps to ensure everyone has a good time while staying safe both during and after the party.
