Description

This chapter contains material property data related to the thermal-, air-, and moisture-related performance of building assemblies. The information can be used in simplified calculation methods as applied in Chapter 27, or in software-based methods for transient solutions. Heat transfer under steady-state and transient conditions is covered in Chapter 4, and Chapter 25 discusses combined heat, air, and moisture transport in building assemblies. For information on thermal insulation for mechanical systems (including insulation used in a range of temperatures), see Chapter 23. For information on insulation materials used in refrigerant piping systems and cryogenic or low-temperature applications, see Chapters 10 and 47 of the 2014 ASHRAE Handbook–Refrigeration. For properties of materials not typically used in building construction, see Chapter 33 of this volume.
