Rule for Calculation |
|
|
Btu/ºF-ft² |
From Table 4.3.5, Table 4.3.6, or Table 4.3.7 |
|
U-factor |
Btu/h-ºF-ft² |
From Table 4.3.5, Table 4.3.6, or Table 4.14 |
|
C-factor |
Btu/h-ºF-ft² |
From Table 4.3.5, Table 4.3.6, or Table 4.3.7 |
|
Thickness (T) |
Ft |
From Table 4.3.5, Table 4.3.6, or Table 4.3.7 |
|
Specific Heat (SH) |
Btu/ºF-lb |
Assume that the specific heat of all concrete and masonry materials is 0.20 Btu/ºF-lb and that the specific heat of wood or straw (see Table 4.3.11 and Table 4.3.12) is 0.39 Btu/ºF-lb. |
|
Weight (W) |
lb/ft² |
Divide the HC by the assumed specific heat. Wall weight is used with the low-rise residential standards to define a high mass wall. |
|
Density (D) |
lb/ft³ |
Multiply the weight (as calculated above) by the thickness (T) |
|
Conductivity (C) |
Btu/h-ºF-ft |
Divide the published C-factor by the thickness (T). When only a U-factor is published, calculate the C-factor by assuming an exterior air film of 0.17 and an interior air film of 0.68. |

Notes 1. The 5/8 inch gypsum board must be verified by the enforcement agency. If 5/8 inch gypsum board is not installed use table 4.3.1. 2. Higher density fiberglass batt is required in these cases. 3. Continuous insulation may be installed on either the inside or the exterior of the wall, or both. | ||||||||||||
This table contains U-factors for wood framed walls, which are typical of low-rise residential buildings and Type V nonresidential buildings. If continuous insulation is not used, then choices are made from Column A. In this case, the insulation is installed in the cavity between the framing members. When continuous insulation is used, this is typically installed on the exterior side of the wall, but can also be used on the inside. The continuous insulation is typically a rigid polystyrene or polyisocyanurate foam insulation.
When this table is used manually, the R-value of continuous insulation shall be equal to or greater than the R-value published in the continuous insulation columns. No interpolation is permitted when data from the table is used manually. CEC approved compliance software, however, may determine the U-factor for any amount of continuous insulation or for unusual construction assemblies using Equation 4-1 and Equation 4-2.
