Question: Problem # 3 - Adding Windows and Doors ( 1 0 Points ) 3 . a ) Now let's calculate the aggregate U value of

Problem #3- Adding Windows and Doors (10 Points)
3.a) Now let's calculate the aggregate U value of this wall assembly when it has 3 windows and 1 door placed in it. Assume we are still looking at a 12 ft tall x 40 ft wide section of wall.
The area of the wall that is not a door or wall will have a U value based on your previous answer to Problem 2. This will be combined with the U values for the windows and doors to calculate an overall weighted U value for the system comprised of the wall assembly, door, and windows.
Assume the windows are triple glazed Low E Krypton filled windows (U-0.125) and are 36''36''
Assume the door is a 1-12 inch steel clad door (R-6). Assume the door is 8ft3ft.
3.b) Calculate the R Value of the entire wall system including windows and doors.
Problem #2- Adding blue insulation and siding. (10 points)
2.a) Now that you have calculated the R-value for the 26 and insulation portion of the assembly, calculate the R value that is achieved by adding the blue exterior foam board (R-5) and an exterior siding layer ( R 0.6 to the wood framing and pink batt insulation layer.
2.b) Calculate the new U Value for this combined assembly of framing, pink batt insulation, bluexterior foam board insulation and siding.
