1. a brick wall has a total area of 8m^2 of which 2m^2 are windows. The U-values are0.95w/m^2oC for the brickwork and 2.8w/m^2oC for the windows. Calculate the average U-value for the wall.
2. Calaulate the U-value of a cavity wall with a 105mm thick brick leaf, a 50mm unventilated cavity, then a 100mm aerated concrete block inner leaf with a 15mm layer of lightweight plaster. Thermal conductivities in w/m^2oC are brickwork 0.84, aerated concrete blocks 0.19, lightweight plaster 0.16. Standard thermal resistances in m^2oC/w are: intermal surface 0.123, extermal surface 0.055, cavity 0.18
