A smart scientist is a frugal scientist. The Frugal Scientist is a series of articles focusing on frugality with special attention to the fundamentals of science.
When it comes to saving money on heating and cooling costs in the household, the frugal scientist must remember these tenets of Thermodynamics: 1) Heat/Thermal Conduction and 2) Closed Systems vs Open Systems.

When it comes to saving money on heating and cooling costs in the household, the frugal scientist must remember these tenets of Thermodynamics: 1) Heat/Thermal Conduction and 2) Closed Systems vs Open Systems.
Heat conduction or Thermal conduction
Heat conduction is the spontaneous transfer of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, which acts to equalize temperature differences.
