Question

Determine conductive resistance (in K/W) of a 80 m^2 plane wall composed of 2 layers:

Layer 1: brick, thickness δ1 = 620 mm, thermal conductivity λ1 = 0.310 W/(m.K)

Layer 2: EPS, thickness δ2 = 52 mm, thermal conductivity λ2 = 0.026 W/(m.K)

Evaluate the heat loss through this wall if indoor temperature is 22 C and outdoor temperature is -18 C.
