May 1, 2024 · This number, also denoted as “r” (or “r-number”), refers to the average number of people that are expected to be infected by one unique individual (e.g., with an “r” of 2, a patient with a certain disease is likely to infect two other people, who in turn are likely to infect two other people, etc.) [ 8 ].
Apr 26, 2024 · An R value greater than 1 indicates that the virus is spreading and each infected person, on average, is infecting more than one other person. This situation can lead to exponential growth in the number of COVID-19 cases.
May 2, 2024 · R-value: The Measure of Resistance. R-value represents the thermal resistance of an insulation material. It's a measure of how effectively a material can resist the flow of heat for 1 inch of material thickness. The better the R-value, the longer it takes for cold to absorb heat from the other side of the insulation.

6 days ago · How roof fasteners impact the R-value of roof designs—and what to do about it. A recent study by AIA partner GAF and others reveals just how much roof fasteners can decrease the R-value of commercial roof systems. Here’s what to know and how to manage the issue.
May 8, 2024 · IRC 2021 – Required roof R-value = 60. Required U-value = 0.024. I’m doing an unvented “cathedral” roof on a Mid-Century Modern inspired design. It looks like if I go the U-value route I can keep the roof section considerably thinner. In fact, based on my calculations, using 2×8 rafters @ 24″ o.c., an R30C fiberglass batt compressed ...
Apr 25, 2024 · While R-value measures resistance, U-value measures the rate of heat transfer. It’s often used in the context of windows or doors, offering insight into how well these elements can keep heat inside your home. A lower U-value indicates better insulation properties.
