THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE OF CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS WITH CORE INSULATION.

Author(s) : GEMM M. G. van

Summary

THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE VALUES OF CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS, WITH AND WITHOUT CORE INSULATION, TESTED AT THREE LABORATORIES ARE SUMMARIZED. INSULATIONS WERE PERLITE, VERMICULITE, EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE (EPS) BEADS, AND EPS INSERTS. MEASURED VALUES ARE COMPARED TO VALUES CALCULATED USING THE ISOTHERMAL PLANES METHOD. FOR EMPTY CORE CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS WITH KNOWN, CONCRETE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, MEASURED VALUESWERE WITHIN 10% OF CALCULATED VALUES. HOWEVER, FOR WALLS WITH CORE INSULATION, MEASURED VALUES DIFFERED BY 0 TO 40% FROM CALCULATED VALUES.
