Question:

Assume that a 60mwall of a house is insulated to an R-value of 5.4 (SI units), but suppose the insulation was omitted from a 1mgap where only 6 cm of wood with an R-value of 0.37 remains. Show that the effective R value of the wall drops to R = 4.4 leading to a 23% increase in heat loss through the wall.
