sion Vi of the insulated construction may be compared with the corre
sponding coefficient U without insulation. Attention is called to the
necessity of applying the insulating material in accordance with the manu
facturer's specification. The engineer must carefully evaluate the eco
nomic considerations involved in the selection of an insulating material
as adapted to various building constructions. Lack of proper evaluation,

Computed Heat Transmission Coefficients
Computed over-all heat transmission coefficients of many common types of building construction are given in Tables 5 to 18, inclusive, each coeffi cient being identified by a serial number except in Table 18. For example, the coefficient U of a brick veneer, frame wall with wood sheathing and J-inch of plaster on gypsum lath is 0.27 (Wall No. 28-C in Table 5) and with 2-inches of blanket or bat insulation the coefficient would be 0.097 (No.
49-B in Table 6). In the analysis of any wall construction for the purpose of calculating
the over-all coefficient of heat transmission U, it is first necessary to deter mine the paths of heat flow; that is, whether they are parallel or series, or a combination of both. This is in accordance with the basic laws of heat transfer, which state that in parallel flow the conductances are additive., while in series flow the resistances are additive. Likewise, in order to de- ` tennine the total resistance for the wall, the conductance must be known.
The importance of this analysis cannot be over emphasized. This is especially true in wall constructions m which there are parallel paths of ' heat flow and one path has a high heat transfer while others have a low
heat transfer. The method of making this calculation can best be shown by the folt?-- a A = this wall was tested bv the hot box methott-'
