What is the clear wall R-value of a typical 2X6 stud wall assembly? Assume the following: (1)cavity has dense pack cellulose at R 22 (2)there are 1 percent air gaps in the cavity insulation with a nominal R value of 1 for the air gap (3)tH framing factor is 22 percent with an R value of 1.25/inch (4) There is 1 inch of continuous XPS (R5/inch) on the exterio (5)Assume the air films, sheathing, facade, and wallboard add an additional 1.5 R value to the wall. Hint: draw this out.
