U-Value Calculations Sample

This document calculates the U-value of a building element made up of clay bricks, glasswool insulation, concrete blocks and plaster by listing the thickness and conductivity of each material and summing their thermal resistances to get the total resistance, from which the U-value of 0.343 W is calculated.
