Question 1
The exterior wall of a building consists of 100 mm thick face brick (k = 0.9 W/m-K), 40 mm thick
polystyrene insulating board (k = 0.036 W/m-K), 125 mm thick concrete block (k = 1.8 W/m-K) and 15
%3D
mm thick interior gypsum board (k = 0.18 W/m-K). The inside and outside convective heat transfer
coefficients are 6.5 W/m2-K and 22.5 W/m2-K, respectively. The outside air temperature is -5°C and the
inside air temperature is 20°C. The wall is 3 m high and 15 m long. Calculate the rate of heat loss (in W)
