What will be an ideal response?


Thermal transmittance (U) is a measure of the amount of heat that will pass through an assembly of various materials, such as an exterior wall. It is the reciprocal of the total resistance (R) of the assembly: U = 1/ÓR. A smaller U-value indicates greater resistance to the transmission of heat.
