Formula and example

How it is calculated

Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor

Worked example

1 m²·K/W = 5.678263341 ft²·°F·h/Btu IT (US R).

Things to check

  • Thermal insulance describes a layer or construction. US R-values use ft²·°F·h/Btu, so their numerical value differs from the value in m²·K/W.
  • Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
