"U"-Values

Determination of Wall "U" Value

R1 R2

"R" at Insulation "R" at Structure

2 Outside surface, 15 mph wind 0.17 0.17
5 Face Brick, 4" 0.80 0.80
4 Air Cavity, 4" 0.97 *
9 Mineral fiber batt insulation, R-11 11.00 *
24 Wood stud, nominal 2 x 4 * 4.38
8 Gypsum wallboard, 1/2" 0.45 0.45
3 Inside surface, still air 0.68 0.68

R total = 14.07 6.48

R = (% Area x R1) + (% Area x R2)

- %Area at Insulation = 0.75
- %Area at Structure = 0.25

R= 12.1725 BTUH * sq. ft. * °F

U=1/R

Known U-Value = BTUH * sq. ft. * °F

U= 0.0822 BTUH * sq. ft. * °F
