Concrete wall

Concrete wall without insulation

This comparison snapshot keeps the concrete wall leaf bare so you can compare the uninsulated case before adding insulation.

Used for quick thermal checks of walls, roofs, and floors.

Quick result

Assembly type

Concrete wall

Wall leaf only, no insulating layer added.

Total thickness

28 cm

Total build-up thickness is 28 cm.

Estimated U-value

3.15 W/m²K

The estimated U-value is based on the full layer stack.

How it is calculated

How this wall build-up is calculated

R = d / lambda

Each layer adds resistance using R = d / lambda. The final U-value includes the wall leaf, the insulation, and the surface resistances.

U = 1 / (Rsi + sum(R layers) + Rse)
