A Study of the Heat Transmission of Building Materials (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Understand how heat moves through building walls and how to estimate it in real construction.

This practical guide explains the coefficients of heat transmission for exterior walls and shows how to apply them to common wall types. It emphasizes real-world conditions, such as air inside and outside temperatures and moving air effects, to help you estimate heat loss in practical projects.

Using straightforward formulas and tested data, the book translates lab results into usable tools for estimating energy transfer in solid walls, air spaces, and composite constructions. It also outlines methods for applying this data to typical wall details found in everyday buildings.

• Clear explanations of conduction, radiation, and how they combine to transfer heat through walls.
• Coefficients derived from a range of simple wall tests to aid calculations for complex constructions.
• Guidance on applying test results to brick, wood, concrete, and boxed air spaces commonly seen in exterior walls.
• Discussion of factors like humidity, moving air, and surface conditions that influence coefficients.

Ideal for engineers, builders, and students seeking a practical, data‑driven approach to heat loss in real buildings.
