Heat transfer can never be stopped, it can only be slowed or reflect away. The purpose of insulation is to impede this natural process. In hot weather, you want to stop heat from being transferred into the building, and in cold weather you want to stop it from being transferred out.
Thermal energy is also known as internal kinetic energy.The transfer of thermal energy from one body to another is the result of temperature variations. Heat moves along areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. The three mechanisms for heat transfer include conduction, convection and radiation.
