U Value Reference Table for Building Materials

This document provides a reference table of common building materials and their corresponding U-values. The U-value is a measure of heat transfer through a material and is the inverse of the R-value. A material with an R-value of 11 would have a U-value of 0.09. The table lists various materials used in walls, doors, roofs, floors, windows and their U-values to quantify the heat transfer properties of different building components.
