In the United States and Canada, the R-value that describes the performance of thermal insulation is typically quoted in square foot degree Fahrenheit hours per British thermal unit (ft 2 ⋅°F⋅h/Btu). For one square foot of the insulation, one Btu per hour of heat flows across the insulator for each degree of temperature difference across it.
Measured in square feet, the reference standard for EDR is the mattress radiator [1] invented by Stephen J. Gold in the mid 19th century. One square foot of EDR is able to liberate 240 BTU per hour when surrounded by 70 °F (21 °C) air and filled with steam of approximately 215 °F (102 °C) temperature and 1 psi of pressure.
kelvin square-metre per watt (K⋅m 2 /W or, equally, °C⋅m 2 /W), whereas the I-P (inch-pound) unit is degree Fahrenheit square-foot hour per British thermal unit (°F⋅ft 2 ⋅h/BTU). [13] For R-values there is no difference between U.S. and Imperial units, so the same I-P unit is used in both.

Although the concept of U-value (or U-factor) is universal, U-values can be expressed in different units. In most countries, U-value is expressed in SI units, as watts per square metre-kelvin: W/(m 2 ⋅K) In the United States, U-value is expressed as British thermal units (Btu) per hour-square feet-degrees Fahrenheit: Btu/(h⋅ft 2 ⋅°F)
U = Overall heat transfer coefficient in Btu/(ft2-hr-deg F) A = Area in square feet T1 = outdoor temperature in degrees F T2 = indoor temperature in degrees F For heat gains due to people, equipment (hooded and unhooded), and lighting
