U-factor (BTU/h·ft²·°F) to R-value (US)

Convert U-factor (BTU/h·ft²·°F) to R-value (US), with the math shown step by step.

R-value (US)
4.35 R (ft²·°F·h/BTU)

0.23 BTU/(h·ft²·°F) = 4.35 R (ft²·°F·h/BTU)

Also equals

How it works

R (ft²·°F·h/BTU) = 1 ÷ BTU/(h·ft²·°F)

Fuel economy and fuel consumption are upside down from each other: the farther a car goes on its fuel, the less fuel it needs for a set distance. So instead of multiplying, divide 1 by your number. The 1 comes from 100 × 3.785411784 ÷ 1.609344. For example, 0.3 BTU/(h·ft²·°F) is about 3.333 R (ft²·°F·h/BTU).

  1. Divide 1 by your number 1 ÷ 0.23 = 4.35 R (ft²·°F·h/BTU)
