The composite wall of a building consists of a 100 mm layer of common brick, a 100 mm layer of glass fibre (organic bonded), a 10 mm layer of gypsum plaster (perlite aggregate) and a 6 mm of pine panel. If the inside convection coefficient is 10 W/m2 .K and the outside convection coefficient is 70 W/m2 .K, calculate: (i) the total thermal resistance of the wall; (ii) the overall heat transfer coefficient of the wall.

Question 21 Brick by Brick (BBB) is a building business that provides a range of building services to the public. Recently they have been asked to quote for garage conversions (GC) and extensions to properties (EX) and have found that they are winning fewer GC contracts than expected. BBB has a policy to price all jobs at budgeted total cost plus 50%. Overheads are currently absorbed on a labour hour basis. BBB thinks that a switch to activity based costing...
