At -50° F flesh freezes in seconds. <br /> <br /> === Plant requirements ===<br /> <br /> [[Psychrophile]]s can grow in temperatures as low as 32° F.<br /> <br /> == Engineering requirements ==<br /> <br /> The simplest means of meeting these temperature conditions is to maintain them within an environmentally controlled structure. Inhabited structures must be heated. Good insulation helps conserve energy.<br /> <br /> == Online Textbooks ==<br /> [http://web.mit.edu/lienhard/www/ahtt.html A Heat Transfer Textbook 3rd Edition]</div>
