Thermal Resistance of A ir Spaces, By F. B. Rowley and A. B.Algren (Journal, A. S. H. V. E., Vo!. 35.` No. 1, January, 1929).
mining overall coefficients of heat transmission of walls, floors, roofs and ceilings.
Computed Transmission Coefficients: As previously stated heat trans
mission coefficients of many common types of building construction are given in Tables 12 to 36, inclusive, each construction being identified by a serial number. For example: The coefficient of transmission (U) of a 12-in. brick wall, furring strips, and %-in. of gypsum plaster on metal
lath, is 0.216, and the number assigned to a wall of this construction is 3-B, Table 12.
The coefficients in these tables were determined by computations Similar to those shown in Fig. 3, using the value of k (or C) indicated.
The authorities for the conductivities used for computing these coefficients are given in Tables 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. As in the case of the examples in Fig. 3, the average value of 1.34 given in Table 4 for/, was used for all
surfaces in still air. The value of f0 for outside wall and roof surfaces was !
taken as 3 X /i, or 4.02, corresponding to a wind velocity, of approxh
mately 15 miles per hour. The conductance of air spaces % in. or more in-'
width was taken to be 1.10 B.t.u. per hour per square foot per degree:
fahreriheit difference between the two sides enclosing the air space. (See.
Table 6.)

Problems involving the determination of the value'of U from the pon-e ductivity constants can also be solved by what is sometimes known as' the resistance method which is readily derived from the basic equation'
