The frame and double sealing of the window system are the actual weak points in the window insulation. Typical thermal transmittance values for common building structures are as follows: [citation needed] Single glazing: 5.7 W/(m 2 ⋅K) Single glazed windows, allowing for frames: 4.5 W/(m 2 ⋅K) Double glazed windows, allowing for frames: 3.3 ...
Higashi anomalies: The very high c values that are labeled as thermal conductivities in table III on page 100 would roughly fit the thesis of the paper if they came with lower orders of magnitude. The way that the dry soils get a lot lighter between Table I on page 99 and table IV on pages 102-3 is eventually explained by the fact that Table I ...
Architects and engineers call the resulting values either the U-Value or the R-Value of a construction assembly like a wall. Each type of value (R or U) are related as the inverse of each other such that R-Value = 1/U-Value and both are more fully understood through the concept of an overall heat transfer coefficient described in lower section ...
Reflective aluminum foil is the most common material used as a radiant barrier. It has no significant mass to absorb and retain heat. It also has very low emittance values "E-values" (typically 0.03 compared to 0.90 for most bulk insulation) which significantly reduces heat transfer by radiation.
The material used for this insulating bar stands out for its low thermal conductivity value (0.30 W/m2K) and its good mechanical properties even at higher temperatures. A non-thermally-separated frame from an aluminum window has a thermal transmission coefficient of 6.8 W/m2K.
The construction industry makes use of measures such as the R-value (resistance) and the U-value (transmittance or conductance). Although related to the thermal conductivity of a material used in an insulation product or assembly, R- and U-values are measured per unit area, and depend on the specified thickness of the product or assembly.

The specific heat of the human body calculated from the measured values of individual tissues is 2.98 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1. This is 17% lower than the earlier wider used one based on non measured values of 3.47 kJ · kg−1· °C−1.
A spacer made of aluminum that also contains a highly structural thermal barrier reduces condensation on the glass surface and improves insulation, as measured by the overall U-value. A spacer that reduces heat flow in glazing configurations may also have characteristics for sound dampening where external noise is an issue.
