U-value Calculation

U-Value Calculation is a thermal performance metric in building science that quantifies the rate of steady-state heat transfer through a unit area of a building element per unit temperature difference between its interior and exterior environments, distinguishing itself by integrating the combined effects of conduction, convection, and radiation across all layers and surfaces of the construction assembly.
