    You forget that the water is in a glass and the glass gives away heat by concection to the surrounding air. For convection and heat transport in a material there is a roughly linear relationship between temperature difference and energy transported. Relative to the 15 watts we can assume the air in the room to be an infinite heat sink with constant temperature.
