Author(s) : FLANDERS S. M.
Summary
THE PAPER COMPARES IN SITU MEASUREMENTS OF R-VALUES WITH R-VALUES OBTAINED FROM HANDBOOK CALCULATIONS. EXAMINATION OF SELECTED STUDY CASES INDICATED THAT CONVECTION IS A FREQUENT HEAT TRANSFER MECHANISM IN FIBROUS INSULATION, IN BOTH WALLS AND ATTICS. THERMAL BRIDGES WERE ALSO EVIDENT FROM THE MEASUREMENTS. AIR LEAKAGE AND MOISTURE WERE NOT SIGNIFICANT CAUSES.
