Coefficients are expressed in Bln per {hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree difference in temperature between
the air on the two sides), and are based on an outside wind velocsty of IS mph.

INSULATED CONSTRUCTIONS--HOW TO USE TABLE 16
, Tables 5 through 15, U values are given for many common types of
,.chng wall, floor, and ceiling constructions. For such of these construc tions as contain an air space, the tabulated U value is based on the assump tion that the air space is empty, and that its surfaces are of ordinary build-
g materials of low thermal reflectivity, such as wood, masonry, plaster or Paper. Considerable benefit in reducing the heat transmission coefficient
a construction can be effected by the application of thermal insulating materials in the air space.
v 16 provides a means of determining, without calculations, the U
insui6*-
between-framing area of such constructions with the added
U V | on installed in the air space. Column 1 of Table 16 refers to the
Colii 6S * PHiesnlated constructions as taken from Tables 5 through 15.
