Add the individual components and then multiply by 11 and divide by 5 per fsec.
Type of building section r value wood frame walls 3 plus r value of the insulation used floors above unheated spaces 2 plus r value of the insulation used ceilings 1 1 2 plus r value of the insulation single glazed windows 0 88 double glazed windows 1 67 doors with glass use r value of the glass for the entire door.
R value table insulation values for selected materials this method of determining r values do not apply to dynamic mass walls such as the all wall system.
Concrete sand gravel aggregate.
8 thick concrete slab or foundation wall has an r value of about 1 04 30 while lightweight aggregate filled 8 thick concrete has an r value of about 2 18 30.

Typical residential weight concrete 8 wall r 2 5.
A wall s thermal resistance or its r value is its ability to slow the transfer of heat from one side to the other.
This is how the dynamic mass wall performs in whole wall lab tests and in the constructed home.
As we said before the r value measures the thermal resistance of a material.
For instance if you have a material with an r value of 12 attached to another material with an r value of 3 then both materials combined have an r value of 15.
For example if you have a type of insulation that has an r value of r 5 per inch of thickness you will need a depth of 6 inches of this insulation installed in your attic to reach r 30 if you live in zones 2 or 3.
The r value of a material determines how quickly heat is conducted across it.

The r values u factors listed in this tek were determined by calculation using the code recognized series parallel also called isothermal planes calculation method refs.
These r values are a sum meaning this should be the total r value once you add up the entire depth of insulation.
R values of common building materials.
The r value of an uninsulated 8 inch thick basement wall built using normal weight concrete is 1 35 based on data from the 1993 american society of heating refrigeration and air conditioning engineers handbook.
To determine the value for all wall.
