Conductance values for horizontal air spaces depend on whether the heat flow is upward or downward, but in most cases it is sufficiently accurate to use the same values for horizontal as for vertical air spaces.

coefficients involving upward heat flow through horizontal and sloping air spaces bounded on one side by aluminum foil applied to plasterboard,
as for similar vertical' air spaces. As already stated, a conductance value of 1.10 was similarly used in all
cases for calculating the coefficients of construction involving vertical, horizontal and sloping Air spaces bounded on both sides by ordinary
building materials.
PRACTICAL COEFFICIENTS
For practical purposes it is necessary to have average coefficients that may be applied to various materials and types of construction without the necessity of making tests on the individual material or combination of materials. In Table 2 coefficients are given for a group of materials which have been selected from various sources. Wherever possible the proper ties of material and conditions of. tests are given. However, in selecting and applying these values to any construction a "reasonable amount of caution is necessary; variations will be found in the coefficients for the same materials, which may be partly due to different test methods used, but which are largely due to variations in materials. The coefficients which have been used for the calculation of over-all coefficients are given
in Table 3. It should be recognized in these tables of calculated coefficients that
space limitations will not permit the inclusion of all the combinations of materials that are used in building construction and the varied applications of insulating materials to these'constructions. Typical examples are given
