2. If there is a column which exactly corresponds to the condition for which youg?
desire the U value, read the answer in this column, opposite the Column 1 value,*

3. If there is no column which fully corresponds to the condition for which yojfefc' desire the U value, then obtain the answer by means of two or more steps--eacg|p time using the value obtained in one step to reenter the same, table through Colun>D|| 1. In this way U values may be obtained for combinations of insulation in the framjj*:

EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF TABLE 16
Example 3: Find the coefficient of transmission Ui of the frame wall shown as example at the top of Table 5:
(a) With 2-inch blanket fibrous insulation between the studs and in contact wit'' the gypsum lath and,
(b) With aluminum-foil-backed gypsum lath.
Solution: According to Table 5, the U value for this construction with no insufe
tion in the air space is 0.24. Referring to Table 16 Part A for walls, it is found tlgj
corresponding to the value 0.24 in Column 1, the coefficient for conditions (a) spS
(b) are:
-4;
(a) In Column 4, find Ui = 0.087. Use 0.09.
(b) From Table 3, Section C, the effective emissivity E of aluminum foil is 0.&S
In Column 8 find Ui = 0.173. Use 0.17.

Table 15. Coefficients of Transmission (U) of Pitched Roofs**6
Coefficients areexpressed in Btu per. (hour) (squarefoot) (Fahrenheit degree difference in temperature between the atr on the two sides), and are based on an outside wind velocity of IS mph for Keat flow upward and
7.6 mph for heat flow downward.
