spaces, the position (vertical, horizontal or inclined) of the material in the structure must be taken into consideration. For example, the resistance to heat flow upward is about one-third that of downward flow in a hori zontal-position in the same construction, as will be apparent from Table 1, Section C. However, the difference between upward heat flow through single horizontal or sloping air spaces and through single vertical air spaces is comparatively small for the same temperature difference. Con sequently the same conductance value (0.46) may be used for computing
