both plants and animals, have various mechanisms for coping with thermal change. Which of the

following is not a point she makes in that regard. Cold-blooded animals are at a thermal

disadvantage to plants because they must just endure thermal conditions or perish.

greatest variety of thermal strategies available to them." Which of the following is not one such

strategy she notes? Our naked skin functions perfectly in hot, humid tropics as well as in

In her chapter on "Delight" Ms. Heschong notes a propensity of various cultures to enjoy thermal

extremes. Which of the following is not one of the comments she makes about these practices?

Australians over-heat and over-air condition their homes as a response to the very uniform

climate they live in.




In her chapter on "sacredness", Ms. Heschong describes "passive solar-heated buildings" similar

to the ones we looked at in class. Which of the following is not consistent with the attitudes she

expresses about those buildings? The primary disadvantage of these buildings is that they

may go through an air temperature flux as great as 20F per day. For this reason they can never be

widely used.




In her preface to the book, Thermal Delight, Ms. Heschong describes her own experience

working on a solar building similar to the ones we looked at in the lecture on "Climate". Which

of the following best identifies her description of that building? Rather than simply

housing an autonomous mechanical system, the building itself acted as a thermal system. Rooms,

windows, and shutters served as both features for living, viewing, etc. and as thermal devices.
