Required information Sometimes equations can be developed and practical problems solved by knowing nothing more than the dimensions of the key parameters. For example, consider the heat loss through a window in a building. Window efficiency is rated in terms of R value, which has the unit of ft2-hr-°F/Btu. A certain manufacturer offers a double-pane window with R=2.5 and also a triple-pane window with R= 3.4. Both windows are 3.5 ft by 5 ft. On a given winter day, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is 45°F. How much heat is lost through the double-pane window? 315 Btu
