U Values-Concrete
The U-value is the measure of heat transmittance through a material and the lower the U value the less heat is transmitted through a construction i.e. the better the insulation quality. For concrete the k-value depends on its bulk density and the moisture content in service. (CIBSE guide Table A3.1., 1980) For further information see U-values
