*The conductivity of plaster varies with the composition. Note-range of values from 2.32 to 8.0. The
average value for plaster is probably about 5.0. On account of the comparatively high conductivity of
plaster and the fact that it 4s seldom applied more than *4 in. thick, this material does not appreciably
effect the overall transmission of a construction, excepting in the case of thin uninsulated walls.

In addition to the conductivity values for the authorities listed, considerable work of importance per taining to the heat transmission of various types of construction and materials has been done by the late Prof. John R. Allen and Prof. A. J. Wood of the Engineering Experiment Station of Pennsylvania State
College.
