Abstract
In Chapter 1 the principles of heat transmission were developed on the basis of heat conduction through homogeneous materials and heat transfer from surfaces by radiation and convection. In actual construction the walls, ceiling, and roof enclosing a building space rarely are homogeneous. Usually each consists of a combination of different materials. Consequently, the practical problem is one of determining the heat transfer through such building components taking into consideration air spaces and surface conductances.
