Thermal insulation design for the envelop elements

The equation used for the thermal resistance estimation in the hypothesis of one direction thermal flux is:

Ro ,ef = Ri + Rk + Re =

dk

One requirement for the thermal resistance is:

Ro,ef Rnec

Where the corrected mean resistance for building envelope are : Ro,nec= 1.4 for external walls Ro,nec= 3 for terace roof Ro,nec= 1.65 for over basement
