THIS PAPER PRESENTS RESULTS OF TESTS ON COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE REFLECTIVE INSULATIONS CAREFULLY INSTALLED BETWEEN FRAMING MEMBERS IN A LARGE VERTICAL CALIBRATED HOT BOX, THUS SIMULATING A WALL APPLICATION. IT WAS FOUND THAT RESISTANCES CALCULATED OVERSTATED THE THERMAL RESISTANCE AN AVERAGE OF 146% COMPARED TO THE DATA OBTAINED FROM THE MEASUREMENTS. THUS, CONTINUING CAUTION IN THE USE OF CALCULATED DATA IS INDICATED.
