What happens to much of the energy that is used to heat and cool homes?

Most of it is wasted — it escapes from the house into the surrounding environment. Heat flows out (or in) through walls, roofs, floors, windows, doors and leaky ductwork by conduction, convection and air infiltration, so much of the energy used to heat or cool a home is lost rather than kept inside.
