Insulation Thickness

This document summarizes the results of an analysis of the thermal transmittance (U-value) of an exterior insulation finishing system wall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for a low-rise residential building. The analysis found a U-value of 0.330 W/m2K for a 33 cm thick wall assembly, which complies with requirements in the Saudi Building Code. The interactive tool allows users to evaluate U-values of EIFS walls and preview estimated results for calculation guidance.
