Calculate the heat loss from a double-pane glass window consisting of two pieces of glass, each having a thickness of 10 mm with a thermal conductivity of k = 1.3 = >·? . The two glass panes are separated by an air gap of 7 mm. Assume the thermal conductivity of air to be k = 0.022 = >·? . Also, express the total R- and U-values.

What will be an ideal response?
