Architecture and Planning Miscellaneous

  1. ‘U-valuc' refers to
    1. Utility function for convective heat transfer
    2. Thermal transmittance of building components
    3. Energy transfer between thermal bridges
    4. Measure for area related heating and cooling loads
Correct Option: B

U-values measure how effective a material is an insulator. The lower the U-value is, the better the material is as a heat insulator. For example, here are some typical U-values for building materials: a cavity wall has a U-value of 1.6 W/ m² .It is also known as thermal transmittance of building components such as window, wall etc.
