Consider a composite wall that includes an 8-mm-thick hardwood siding, 40-mm by 90-mm hardwood studs on 0.65-m centers with glass fiber insulation (paper faced, 28 kg/m³), and a 12-mm layer of gypsum (vermiculite) wall board. What is the thermal resistance associated with a wall that is 2.5 m high by 6.5 m wide (having 10 studs, each 2.5 m high)? Assume surfaces normal to the x-direction are isothermal.

Assuming you apply 5/8” coating of gypsum wallboard to the non-fire exposed side of a 6” thick siliceous concrete wall, what is the new effective thickness to be used to determine the resistance of the wall?
A 5006 cm long by 4 m high wall is made of 25 cm concrete and 20 cm hollow clay tile with plaster of 1.5 cm thickness on its both sides surfaces. The temperature on inside surface is 19°C while the outside temperature is 45°C. What is the rate of heat transfer through the wall of the hall?
Solve for what is being required. Room dimensions are: LxWxH = 8.50 m, 5.0 m, 3m. Originally, the room had linoleum flooring with an absorption coefficient of 0.03. Two opposite walls were cladded with unglazed bricks with an absorption coefficient of 0.02, the one having the entrance gypsum door (2.1 m X 0.80 m) with 0.05 abs.co.; the other two were just bare concrete with sliding glass window openings of 1.80m x 1.20 m each; the bare concrete with an abs.co. Of 0.31 and the window glass with 0.18, the ceiling, too , had bare concrete as its finish at 500 Hz. The client would like to renovate the space into an acoustical studio room and would like to change the ceiling and the flooring. The ceiling will have a vinyl faced fiberglass panel with an abs.co. of 0.71, and the floor will have mineral fiber tiles with an abs.co. Of 0.66, all at 500 Hz.
Assume a pressure of 100 kPa absolute at ground level. What is the pressure (in kPa)at the top of a 3-m-high wall on the outside where the temperature is -20°C and on the inside of a house where the temperature is -22°C? (This difference results in infiltration even if no wind is present.)
A three-ply asphalt felt and gravel roof over 2-in.-thick insulation board is supported by 18-in-deep precast reinforced concrete beams with 3-ft wide flanges. If the insulation weighs 3 lb/ft2 and the asphalt roofing weighs 5.5 lb/ft2, determine the total dead load, per foot of length, each beam must support.

A cold-storage warehouse is to be constructed of a number of individual rooms that are maintained at various temperatures. The walls of one room are constructed of 4 inches thick masonry on the outside of 0.5 inches thick plywood on the side. Sandwiched between the masonry and plywood is glass fiber insulation that is 3.5 inches thick. The inside-wall temperature is to be maintained at −10°F and the outside-wall temperature is 70°F. As a first step in sizing the required cooling unit, determine the heat flow the wall on a per-square-foot basis.
