Re: [TRNSYS-users] Problem in creating a new wall type

Dear Issa,
You foget that U-value normaly its U=1/R and on R influence convective and 
radiative heat transfer coefficent (inside and outside wall) and never 
U-value will be devided by 2 if you change thikness single layer frpm 0.1 to 
0.2 m.
