HVAC & Thermal Calculations
Standard sizing utilities for ventilation blower capacity, thermal wall insulation R-values, residential cooling loads, dew point safety audits, and factory refrigerant split-system lines.
R-Value ↔ U-Value
Convert between thermal resistance (R-value, RSI) and heat transmittance (U-value, U-factor). Includes building material defaults.

Physics Concept
**R-Value** measures resistance to heat flow. Higher values mean better insulation performance.
**U-Value** measures thermal transmittance (the rate of heat loss). Lower values mean a more energy-efficient thermal barrier.
U-Value = 1 / R-Value | RSI = R_imp × 0.176110
