Ask The Expert Answers: heat transfer
What’s the Difference between U-factor and R-value in Energy Efficient Windows?
The biggest difference between U-factor and R-value is that U-factor measures the rate of heat transfer (or loss) while R-value measures the resistance to heat loss. R-value is a measure of conductivity.
