Cottage or Castle-Which Was Warmer?An Evaluation of Mediaeval Building Materials
| Division: | Health Sciences / None | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Vancouver Island | | City: | Victoria, BC | | School: | Esquimalt Community School | | Abstract: | My experiment measures the thermal insulative properties of mediaeval building materials such as stone, wattle and daub, and cob. By finding the insulative properties of these materials one could answer the question: Whose house was warmer, the prince in a castle of stone, or the peasant in a cob house? By studying these materials one could find how they could benefit us today. |
