![Required information
A masonry cavity wall consists of 100-mm common bricks, 90-mm air space, 100-mm
concrete blocks made of lightweight aggregate, 20-mm air space, and 13-mm gypsum
wallboard separated from the concrete block by 20-mm-thick (1 in x 3 in nominal) vertical
furring whose center-to-center distance is 400 mm. One side of both air spaces is
coated with a reflective film of = 0.05. The temperature difference across the air spaces
can be taken to be 16.7°C with a mean air temperature of 10°C. The air space constitutes
81 percent of the heat transmission area, while the vertical furring and similar structures
constitute 19 percent.
The R-values for different materials are given in the table below.
Construction
1. Outside surface, 24 km/h
2. Face brick, 100 mm
3. Air space, 90-mm, reflective with & =
0.05
4. Concrete block, lightweight, 100-mm
5a. Air space, 20 mm, reflective with &
=0.05
5b. Vertical ferring, 20 mm thick
6. Gypsum wallboard, 13
7. Inside surface, still air
Determine the overall U-factor of the masonry cavity wall.
The overall U-factor is 1.007 W/m².°C.
