... Typical analyses of heat transfer across building envelopes consist of determining the thermal resistance of the assembly. The thermal resistance, or R value, is determined through test methods, calculation methods, or numerical simulations. In complex or novel wall assembly configurations...

... is placed outboard of the air and water barrier in most wall assemblies, which means it will generally be exposed to higher levels of moisture than insulation placed within an interior wall cavity. When the thermal resistance value of insulation materials is determined using standardized laboratory testing...

... Standard test methods for measuring thermal resistance (R t ) are intended for items in a dry state. Water is introduced to clothing by perspiration, condensation, precipitation, or immersion, which significantly reduces insulation. This study determined clothing dry times using a whole-body...

... The thermal resistance of a wall assembly is one of the key factors that is considered when evaluating the contribution of the building envelope to the overall energy performance of new and existing buildings. The conductivity and thickness of the building materials comprising the wall assembly...

.... From these simulations, it is clear that a masonry system can be optimized to reduce heat flow. The effect of core or cell filling with various materials was also studied. Insulating materials reduce heat flow primarily by displacing mortar in the cores or cells. masonry thermal resistance R...

... meaningful results. Efforts to produce a more prescriptive version of the ASTM C1303, “Standard Test Method for Predicting Long-Term Thermal Resistance of Closed-Cell Foam Insulation,” have led to a broad ruggedness test. This test includes the aging of full-size insulation specimens for time periods up to 5...

... The methods commonly used for determining the thermal resistance of insulations in wall cavities do not include the effect of air movement through the insulation. Contributions to the total building heating or cooling load include the change in enthalpy of air moving through an insulation...

... that critically evaluates the ASTM C 1289-02 specification requirements for the ISO on three engineering properties: (1) dimensional stability, (2) thermal resistance, and (3) compressive strength. Preliminary results from this study reveal many unknown phenomena, particularly regarding the dimensional stability...
