Abstract: This research aims to explore ways to increase the energy efficiency of current energy sources in an era when new energy sources are needed. In particular, I want to investigate methods for improving heating efficiency by utilizing waste heat and addressing the problem of condensation that occurs in winter. Condensation is caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of a building. Although various methods exist to prevent it, there may be room for improvement. It is therefore proposed that utilizing waste heat to enhance heating efficiency and prevent condensation represents a potential avenue for more efficient use of energy. Furthermore, this approach could serve to emphasize the need for energy substitution by recycling energy that would otherwise be wasted. It is hoped that the findings of this research will contribute to identifying ways to use waste heat more efficiently in our daily lives.
