<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>or also a nice Austrian tool by
ArchiPhysik <a href="http://www.archiphysik.at/webphysik/index.php">http://www.archiphysik.at/webphysik/index.php</a>
that gives you also a hygrothermal performance graph, which is required in some
European codes for hygrothermal performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Both are free for simplified
online usage. If you are looking for a conversion tool for these SI units go
to: <a href="http://www.unitconversion.org/">http://www.unitconversion.org/</a>
or in your case to <a
href="http://www.unitconversion.org/unit_converter/thermal-conductivity.html">http://www.unitconversion.org/unit_converter/thermal-conductivity.html</a>
or directly use the conversion factor: 1 BTU/h.sf.F equals 5.68 W/m2.K or the
other way round 1 W/m2.K equals 0.176 BTU/h.sf.F<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Is anyone aware of a software that calculates U-values of
typical construction assemblies? I’m not looking for something as
complicated as THERM, but more along the lines of a program with a database of
common materials and typical framing factors that will allow me to calculate
U-values quickly without thumbing through my ASHRAE fundamentals handbook or my
local energy code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, the units would need to be in IP.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your help,<o:p></o:p></p>
