More on RC and Insulation

Post by AVare »

I was doing some reading of files I have had for a while and found some interesting data on RC and insulation material. I'll leave it to you to determine the significance in the report. Figs 9 and 10 are the area. Without having studied the report in depth, there doesn't appear to be a significant impact!

A nice find is the TL curves for exterior wall systems.

More clearly confused;
