The R factor for housing insulation gives the thermal resistance in units of ft2 °F h/btu. A good wall for harsh climates, corresponding to about 10.0 in of fiberglass, has R = 40.0 ft2 °F h/btu.

a)  Determine the thermal resistance in SI units.


b)  Find the heat flow per square meter through a wall that has insulation with an R factor of 40.0, with an outside temperature of -22.0 °C and an inside temperature of 23.0 °C.
