Table 29 Coefficients of Transmission (U) of Frame Construction Floors and Ceilings
Holt__These coefficients are expressed in B.t.u. per hour per square foot per 1 dec. fahr. difference in temperature between the air on the two sides and are based on stiu^air (no wind) conditions on both sides.
The values of U in this Table are basedon thefollowing

The value of U is the same if insulation is applied to underside of joists and lath and plaster ceiling .separated by furring strips.
bBased on actual thickness of approximately % in. for 1 in. yellow pine flooring. Thickness of fill assumed 2 in.
dThe coefficient used for cellular gypsum, 0.59 is for 18 lb. weight--weights as low as 12 lb. may be used.
