For instance if you have a material with an r value of 12 attached to another material with an r value of 3 then both materials combined have an r value of 15.
The r value of an uninsulated 8 inch thick basement wall built using normal weight concrete is 1 35 based on data from the 1993 american society of heating refrigeration and air conditioning engineers handbook.
As we said before the r value measures the thermal resistance of a material.
Poured concrete foundations have r values of less than 3.
