Question
Suppose it's winter and very cold outside. You plan to leave your house for several hours. Your neighbor says it would use less energy to turn your heat off while you are gone, and turn it back on when you return home. Your uncle tells you that the way to use less energy is to leave the heat on while you are gone. (He says that if you turn it off you will use more total energy heating the house back up when you return home.) This is a hotly debated issue for some. a) Strictly as far as energy conservation is concerned, who's correct? Why? b) Conservation isn't necessarily everything. What are some legitimate reasons that you might make the choice that uses more energy?Explanation / Answer
a) uncle is correct.
b) because it is winter. so we use more energy to heating any object.
