`^Temperature difference is based on total space between plaster base and sheathing, flooring or roofing.'-
.- These air space conductance and. resistance values are. based on one refiective surface (aluminum);
having an emiasivity of .0.05 facing each space and are based on total space between plaster base and sheath ing, flooring or roofing. The rafter and stud spaces are divided into equal spaces.
/Stud space is lined on plaster base side with loose paper with aluminum on surface facing air space.
The resistance of the small air space between the plaster base and paper was. 0.43. __

Radiation and Convection Across Air Spaces in Frame Construction, byG. B. Wilkes and C. Peterson (A.S.H.V.E. Transactions, Vol. 43, 1937, p. 351).
The recommended surface conductance for calculating heat losses for still air for non-reflective surfaces
is 1.65 Btu. For a 15 mph wind velocity, the recommended value is 6.0 Btu. These coefficients were
derived from Fig. 3 which was based on tests :conducted at the University of Minnesota, and appiy to vertical surfaces.
