Simplified Calculation of U-Value and Total Thermal Resistance of A Structural Element
This document provides a calculation of the U-value and total thermal resistance (R-value) of a 158mm thick wall system composed of multiple layers including 12mm fiber cement board, 12.5mm gypsum board, 8mm fiber cement board, 100mm rockwool insulation, and 25mm exterior insulation and finish system. The total R-value is calculated to be 4.167 m2K/W and the U-value is calculated to be 0.240 W/(m2K).
