Insulation and Heat Flow

Abstract

All living organisms have a preferred environment. Whenever the environment is not within the preferred parameters, the organism is stressed. Stress can reduce productivity, increase the incidents of illness, shorten the storage live of products and cause many other problems. In the natural environment, organism modify their environment by moving from one location to another. Once animals and other organisms are confined, they cannot roam, and the environment must be modified to meet their needs. Two ways environments are modified are heating and cooling.
