Is it possible to construct buildings that are not affected much by heat and cold outside?
Solution
Hollow bricks are easily available these days so maybe it could help somehow. Many people used these hollow bricks as it reduces heat and makes the building cool. Also this can be done by creating outer walls of buildings.
Complete step-by-step answer: Yes, It is possible to construct buildings which are not affected much by heat and cold which is outside. Now this can be done by creating outer walls of buildings so that they have many trapped layers of air. One possible way of doing this is to use hollow bricks, which are easily available nowadays.
A hollow brick is a unit whose net cross-sectional area in each and every plane parallel to the bearing surface is not less than 60% of its gross cross-sectional area which is measured in the same plane.
Hollow bricks lowers the total weight of the construction and also helps in reducing the thickness of the wall of the building which will eventually help in increasing the life of the building and will also provide more space inside the building. Many people used these hollow bricks as it reduces heat and makes the building cool.
Additional information:
The thermometer that is used to measure our body temperature is known as a clinical thermometer.
Often electricity and fuels like coal and wood are used to keep our houses cool or warm.
In the winter, woollen clothes are used. Wool is a very poor conductor of heat. Therefore, there is air trapped in b/w the wool fibres. This air avoids the flow of heat from our body to the cold surroundings. Hence, we feel warm.
Note: Observe the hint carefully, also it is very nicely explained in the heat topic for understanding the answer. Hollow bricks lowers the total weight of the construction and also helps in reducing the thickness of the wall of the building which helps in reducing the heat.
