U-value calculation is a crucial step in designing energy-efficient buildings. U-value, also known as thermal transmittance, measures how much heat is transferred through a building element, such as a wall, roof, or window. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation performance of the building element.

In this video, we will show you how to calculate U-values for different building elements using simple formulas and tools. We will explain the factors that affect U-value, such as material conductivity, thickness, and air gaps. We will also demonstrate how to use U-value calculations to optimize the design of your building and reduce energy consumption.
