Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the interface

Name Type Description Quantity
RValue double RValue is the measure of the resistance of conductive heat loss by the insulation material. -
KValue double KValue is the measure of the insulation material's ability to conduct heat (W/m*K), the lower the KValue the better the ability to conduct heat. -
