U Value
Amount heat transmitted in
unit time
through unit area of a material or construction and the boundary air films,

induced by unit temperature difference between the environments on each side.

Units of U are W/m2-C (Btu/h-ft2-F)

U = k/t
thickness)

(k = thermal conductivity of material & t = Area = 1 m2

T1 = 1 oC

U = 13 W/sqm K
(6 RCC Slab)

T2 = 0 oC

R Value Thermal resistance

The reciprocal of the time rate of heat flow
through a unit area
induced by a unit temperature difference between two defined surfaces of material or construction

Units of R are m2-C/W (h-ft2-F/Btu).

R = 1/U = t/k
(k = thermal conductivity of material & t = thickness)

Selection Criteria Insulation System for Concrete Building Envelope

Thermal Performance

Selection Thermal Resistance (R-Value) not on density & thickness

Eliminates or minimizes thermal bridging Ideal Location

Durable (weather-ability)

Functional
Absorbs minimum moisture

Should not be exposed to fire risks

Safe & Durable (aging and functional use)
