9. Insulation Fibers, foam, and/or paper that is used to fill cracks and gaps in homes so air will not get through and raise energy cost’s

10. R-Value The thermal energy resistance a specific type of insulation has that is used in the building and construction industry.

11. Greenhouse Emissions Gases that are released due to the effects of the greenhouse effect

12. Thermostat A device that controls the system functions of a heating or cooling unit

13. Ambient Temperature The temperature in a room, or the temperature which surrounds an object under discussion

14. Efficiency To use less energy to provide the same level of energy service
