flow leads to surface conductances averaging about 1.50 for block and vertical glass, and about 1.80 for horizontal glass, as compared to the value of 1.65 used in computing U values given in other tables in this
chapter. These values should therefore be used in estimating the tem
perature at which condensation on glass surfaces will occur. The application factors given in Section D of Table 20 are based upon
hot box tests summarized in a research bulletin'4, and are approximate only. In practice, some variation in heat flow through windows having

Wind Velocity Correction for U-Values Tables 7 to 9, and 15 to 19, present values of U for walls and other sur
faces based on an outside wind velocity of 15 mph. Table 21 shows com-,
parative values of U for other wind velocities.
Example S: Find the coefficient of transmission U of a frame wall consisting of wood siding, ff-in. insulation board sheathing, 2 x 4-in. studs, gypsum lath and plaster, and with 2-in. blanket insulation between studs, for 25 mph wind velocity.
Solution: From Table 7, Wall No. 40, with no insulation between studs has a value of U = 0.19. From Table 6, Col. B, this wall with 2-in. insulation added has a value

CALCULATING SURFACE TEMPERATURES
In many heating and cooling load calculations it is necessary to deter: mine the inside surface temperature or the temperature of the surfaces within the structure. As the resistance of any path of heat flow is ex pressed in Fahrenheit degrees per (Btu) (hour) (square foot), the re sistances through any two paths of heat flow would be proportional to the temperature drop through these paths, and can be expressed as follows:
where
= (it - U
Rt (fi - O
(6)
Ri = the resistance from the inside air to any point in the structure at which the temperature iB to be determined.
Rt = the overall resistance of the wall from inside air to outside air. fi = inside air temperature, fi -- temperature to be determined. 4 = outside air temperature.
Example 4: Determine the inside surface temperature for a wall having an overall coefficient of heat transmission U = 0.25, inside air temperature 70 F, outside air temperature -- 20 F.
Solution: Then, by Equation 6
Ri = 1/f, = 1/1.65 = 0.606 R, = 1/C/ = 1/0.25 = 4.00
0.606 70 - tx 4.00 " 70 - (-20)
4 = 56.4 F
The same procedure can be used for determining the temperature at any point within the structure.
A chart for determining inside wall surface temperature is given in Fig. 12 of Chapter 24, Panel Heating.
