[Bldg-sim] Vented cavity behind brick or precast panels and effective R-value

[Jones, Christopher]

Is anyone aware of any analyses of the effective insulation properties of brick or precast veneer with a vented air space? I assume the air in that cavity is moving slowly but it isn’t completely still therefore you can’t include all of the insulative properties of those two layers on the outside of a wall?
