  7. Cold outside air Heat loss increases as the difference between inside & outside increases house heater Heater output and thermostat feedback to each other. When thermostat registers that the house temperature is below its setting, the heater turns on. When house temperature registers higher, the heater turns off.

  8. Do you want to try to invent formulas for a spreadsheet that calculate the heat input, heat loss, and change in temperature? • Yes -- on paper first (alt. address) • Directly into a s’sheet (alt. address) • Skip this Heat loss increases as the difference between inside & outside increases When thermostat registers that the house temperature is below its setting, the heater turns on. When house temperature registers higher, the heater turns off.

  9. Cold outside air house heater Thermostats turn the furnace off as soon as they register that the set temperature has been reached.

Q: What might happen if you had a heater like that? Try it on paper? Or on your s’sheet? Or on mine?
