The R value of a material is a measure of its resistance to heat flow. The higher the R value, the lower the heat flow for a given temperature difference. In winter, a house with an average R value of 10 will lose heat twice as fast as a house with an average R value of 20. The R value is therefore critical for determining energy requirements associated with heating and cooling of homes and other buildings.
