Table 5. Coefficients of Transmission (U) of Fbame Walls*
These coefficient* are expressed in Btu per (Acur) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree difference in temperature between the air on the two sides), and are based on an outside wind velocity of 15 mph.
Example
Resistances used are given below in this
table or in Table S or 4
