Thickness at high and low pts Intermediate thickness, M, for crickets only Ignore intermediate thickness? Ratio of sides (B/C) for trapezoidal base
high point, H low point, L
R-value per unit thickness of tapered insulation: Taper slope
Total R-value of additional (uniform, un-tapered) material:
Efficiency (%) compared with:
true average thickness
1-way slope:
1-way slope with trapezoidal base (parallel high and low edges):
4-way slope, int. drain (or 1-way slope converging down to a point):
4-way slope, ext. drain (or 1-way slope converging up to a point):
triangular cricket:
check
R-value of tapered insulation must be greater than 0
Additional R-value must be greater or equal to 0
R-value cannot be zero at any point
high point must be greater than low point
if used, low point < intermediate point < high point
ratio of trapezoid sides must be greater than 1
