All transfer of heat energy occurs as the result of convection, conduction or radiation:
Convection occurs when heat energy, embodied in a substance, usually air, moves from place to place as the embodying substance moves.
Conduction occurs when heat energy moves from molecule to molecule through a substance. The greater the difference in temperature, the greater the flow of conducted heat.
Radiation is the process by which most heat energy enters homes in Southwest Florida. Every object embodies or stores heat energy and some of this heat energy leaks away in the form of infrared radiation or radiant heat.
