Create 3 different wall sections that would have an R-Value of 20 or higher. One wall should be wood framed (assume 20% framing and 80% cavity)
One wall should be concrete block structure (how you finish it inside/outside is up to you)
One wall should be steel studs (steel studs drastically reduce the effectiveness of cavity insulation, this makes it ineffective to have batt insulation).
For this wall you will not count the framing for any contribution to R-Value and you must not use cavity insulation.
Create a sketch of each wall section in plan view.
Show the composite R-Value of each of the walls (and show your work).
