Thermal resistance is a parameter which describes the ability of a layer of material or an entire partition to resist heat flow, expressed as a ratio of its thickness to its thermal conductivity coefficient. The higher the thermal resistance, the slower the heat energy passes through the walls, roof or floor. This has a direct effect on reducing heat loss and improving the energy efficiency of the building.
When it comes to frame houses This value is analysed for each layer separately and for the layering system as a whole. This approach allows designers to accurately select insulation thicknesses and supplementary materials.
This parameter is also important in assessing the impact of thermal bridges and comparing different building technologies in terms of their insulating properties.
