Homework Statement
Keeping the cabaret door closed is important, so you install a sophisticated door control system that keeps the air exchange between inside and outside to a minimum. Why will such air exchanges always require the climate control system to work harder and consume extra electricity (and cost more money)?
Select one:
a. The air that flows out of the cabaret carries less thermal energy with it than the air that enters the cabaret to replace it. Your system will therefore have to remove thermal energy from the cabaret air.
b. Leaks always lead to the creation of additional disorder, so your system will have to consume more electricity to make up for the loss.
c. The air that flows out of the cabaret carries more thermal energy with it than the air that enters the cabaret to replace it. Your system will therefore have to add thermal energy to the cabaret air.
d. Moving air either into or out of the cabaret involves work and therefore requires the consumption of electricity.

The Attempt at a Solution
C, because with air flowing out of the cabaret, the heat pump will have to work to heat the cabaret constantly.
