    The document provides instructions for an experiment to measure thermal conductivity in a classroom. Students should sketch where they would check for thermal conductivity, prepare calculations to show results while noting accuracy issues, and work in groups of 3 for 30 minutes. As an extension, students should mention two other human comfort values essential for a comfort range, like air and radiant temperature. The document also provides a sample calculation to determine the environmental temperature and heat loss rate through an external wall based on given internal air, mean radiant, and external air temperatures.

    Taking the classroom as

    an example
    Sketch and decide
    where you would check
    for thermal conductivity
    Prepare a calculation
    and show the results
    whilst mentioning any
    issues involved in being
    accurate

    Work in groups of about


    3
    30 mins
    Extension Work
    Mention two other
    human comfort values
    you think are essential
    and state a comfort
    range
    The external wall of a room measures 4.5 m by 2.6 m and has an average Uvalue 1.8 W/m2K. The internal air temperature is 19oC, the mean radiant
    temperature is 22oC, and the external air temperature is 38oC. a) Calculate the
    environmental temperature inside the room. b) Use the environmental
    temperature to calculate the rate of heat loss through the wall.
