Imagine that you are planning to equip in the attic of a luxury billiard room or guest room. In this case, perform the proper insulation of the roof ramps is essential. And insulation is important not only for the winter season. In hot weather, unprotected roof will become hot in the sun and stay in the room would be impossible. Introducing a convenient and intuitive calculator which calculates in seconds necessary thickness of insulation.
Calculator for calculating the desired thickness of the roof insulation Skate
Description of the calculation algorithm
The roof as well as any other structure is calculated from the basic formula:
R = s / λwhere
R- the required resistance to heat transfer, m² · K / W;
s - thickness of insulation, m;
λ - thermal conduction coefficient of the material (W / mK).
We believe that everything is quite clear from the thermal conductivity. It depends on the type of insulation material. But at the required resistance to heat transfer in more detail.
Thermal resistance - is set SNIP value depending on the type of the enclosing structure and climatic location of the house in the region. Determined simply by a special map-scheme.
But in addition to basic parameters on a finite thickness of insulation can affect availability, the material and thickness of the inner plating the attic, as well as the use or non-use of additional thermal insulation (for example, penofol). These additional points are also included in the calculation algorithm for higher accuracy.
By setting the parameters and clicking "Calculate", you get a fairly accurate value of the required thickness for a decision on the choice of a heater. Good luck!
