The reason that it is important to make a good estimate for the current r value for uninsulated spaces is that small changes in r values result in large changes in heat loss when the total r value is low.

Concrete block makes a cost effective and structurally sound wall but it has. Concrete block 12 1 28. 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. Cedar logs and lumber.

Civil engineering and architecture r value and densities chart page 3 the following table was taken from the home energy website. 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. A wall s thermal resistance or its r value is its ability to slow the transfer of heat from one side to the other. By doubling the thickness of the wall to 16 inches the r value only increases by 0 50.
