save heat save energy

Unread post by the arrivals » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:47 pm


A rectangular box shaped house is to have square floor.
3times as much heat per square meter is lost through the roofs as through the walls.
no heat is lost through the floor.
What shape should the house be if it is to enclose 1500cubic meters and minimize heat loss??... :cry:
