Of principal wall materials listed in Tables 7-24, C8 is most massive so it would be the best to select as approximating the actual wall. using Table 7-24B since there is no insulation (mass is evenly distributed with respect to insulation), closest matching secondary material is face brick so wall type is 6 From Table 7-22-J32, for wall #6 at 6 pm (8 solar time) and a west facing wall: CLTD 20 R outside 0.33 R inside 0.69 R block 2.00 L 2 in k in 2.0 ft 2 F q wall window U window.4 ft 2 F ( ) CLTD corr ( 78 78) + T om 85 0 + ( 87.9 85) 2.9 I used 8-in. lightweight concrete block U wall 0.249 R wall ft 2 F U A ( CLTD) ( 0.249) ( 200) ( 20 + 2.9), 460 From Table 5-6 (single glaze, /4-in.)
