1. In summer, the owner of a house-made only of brick walls wants to know the heating transmitting through the wall of his house, so that he can decide if he needs to insulate for energy savings. Bricks have a conductivity of 0.8 W/m/K and are 15 cm wide. The wall is 6 m long per 3 m high. He measures 35 degrees on the outside surface and 22 degrees on the surface of the wall inside. Calculate the heat transferred.
