Energy | A unit of thermal resistance used forcomparing insulating values ofdifferent material. It is basically a measure of the effectiveness of insulation instopping heat flow. The higher the R-value number, a material, the greater itsinsulating properties and the slower the heat flow through it. The specific valueneeded to insulate a home depends on climate, type of heating system and otherfactors. (references) |
| A measure of the capacity of a material to resist heat transfer. The R-Value is the reciprocal of the conductivity of a material (U-Value). The larger the R-Value of a material, the greater its insulating properties. (references) | |

For comparison, the SI unit of thermal resistance is R = K.m²/W, and 1 ft² F° h / Btu = approx. 0.1761 K.m²/W.
