Appendix - Tables
Note: Above insulation “K” Factors [Thermal Conductivity, BTU
per (hour) (square foot) (ºF. per inch of thickness)] and heat
gain factors for Cork and Window Glasses are extracted and
Insulation Values
“K” Factor - Insulating Value of any material is rated by its thermal conductivity
“U” Factor
- Overall coefficient of heat transfer, BTU per hour/per square foot/per degree F.
“R” Factor
- Thermal resistances
“X” = Inches of Insulation
K = UX = X/R
U = K/X = 1/R
R = 1/U = X/K
Table 2
Effective K Factor in Block Thickness of Insulation
Note: If blocks have 3 holes, add .75 to all of the values shown. The
above data is being shown for reference purpose only - this is a very
inefficient method of construction/insulation due to:
1. Concrete webs are dominant factor in calculating insulating effect.
2. Filling techniques may leave blocks improperly filled.
3. No vapor seal present - moisture infiltration decreases insulation
effect.
4. If used for freezers, moisture will freeze inside block and break
out the surface of the block.
5. Blocks are highly subject to setting cracks- more infiltration.

Allowance for Sun Effect
(Fahrenheit degrees to be added to the normal temperature difference for heat leakage
calculations to compensate for sun effect- not to be used for air conditioning design.)
