Similar to Ohm’s Law
𝑉 = 𝑅𝐼
Thermal resistance due to conduction (Rc)(per unit area) = Thickness of
material/Thermal conductivity.
Thermal Conductance (U value) = 1/(Thermal resistance) = Thermal conductivity/Thickness of material
ex
Consider a 0.22 m thick brick wall with a thermal
conductivity of 0.6 Wm-1oC- 1.
Find thermal resistance & U value

Thermal resistance due to convection (Rconvec)(per unit area) = 1/Thermal conductivity.
Thermal Resistance of a Composite Material
• Rs = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + … + Rn
• Where;
• Rs : Resistance of building
assembly surface to surface, i.e.
system resistance (m2K/W)
• R1, R2… Rn : Resistances of
individual layers (m2K/W)
