# Insulation thickness tradeoff # Scope: Single slab insulation resistance with surface films omitted. # Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending. # Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards. area = 10 m^2 thickness = 100 mm conductivity = 0.04 W/(m*K) difference = 20 K heat := conductivity*area*difference/thickness [W] check heat loss budget: heat <= 100 W scenario alternative: area = 8 m^2
