A Quick and Easy Guide to U-Values - First In Architecture
The table below shows the thickness of each element, the thermal conductivity, and the thermal resistance. From here we will go ahead and make our calculation. To calculate the U-value we have to first calculation the Rt. Rt = Rsi + R1 + R2 +Ra + Rso. Rt = 0.04 + 0.1331 + 0.6651 + 4.5455 + 0.2500 + 0.0591 + 0.1300.
