    The document discusses the determination of a wall's U-value. It provides the R-values of different components of a wall with 4 inches of mineral fiber batt insulation and wood studs. It calculates the total R-value of the wall as the area-weighted average of the insulation and structure R-values, finding a total R-value of 12.1725. This equates to a U-value of 0.0822 BTUH per square foot per degree Fahrenheit.
