5-2 Tabulated Overall Heat-Transfer Coefficients 143 5-2 TABULATED OVERALL HEAT-TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS « Forconvenience of the designer, tables have been constructed that give overall coeffi- cients for many common building sections, including walls and floors, doors, windows, and skylights. The tables used in the ASHRAE Handbook (1) have a great deal of flexibility and are summarized in the following pages. Walls and Roofs ‘Walls and roofs vary considerably in the materials from which they are constructed. Therefore, the thermal resistance or the overall heat transfer coefficient is usually computed on an individual basis using Eqs. 5-14 and 5-19, This procedure is demon- strated fora wall and a roof in Tables 5-4a and 5-45, Note that in each case an element has been changed. The tabular presentation makes it simple to recalculate the ther- mal resistance. In each case the unit thermal resistance and the overall heat-transfer coefficient have been computed for one set of conditions. EXAMPLE 5-1 A frame wall is modified to have 3} in. of mineral fiber insulation between the studs. Compute the overall heat-transfer coefficient U if the unit thermal resistance without the insulation is 4.44 (hr-ft?-F)/Btu, Assume a mean temperature of OF and a temperature difference of 20F. ‘Table 5-4a Coefficients of Transmission U of Masonry Cavity Walls, Btu/(hr-ft?-F)* Resistance R (hr-f-F)/Btu pe Cossrnstoall Ges Canattion 208 Between Between At Tem Furring AtFurring Furring —Furring 1, Outside surface 0.17 0.17 O17 017 (15 mph wind) 2.
