Impervious
Let’s say if I say, “the house is impervious to heat”. Does it mean even if the outside temperature is above 130 degrees, it’s cold inside the house with no effect from the heat from the outside? I am trying to understand the meaning of impervious. Thank you.

Heat is not a good example, since all substances, except vacuums, conduct heat. Water is better. My raincoat is impervious to water.
