Development of a NIST Standard Reference Database for Thermal Conductivity of Building Materials

March 1, 2000

Author(s)

Robert R. Zarr, G R. Dalton, S M. Fioravante

The development of a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Database for the thermal conductivity of building materials is presented. The source of the data is the collection of thermal conductivity measurements produced

An Internet Database for Thermal Transmission Properties of Insulating and Building Materials

January 31, 2000

Author(s)

Robert R. Zarr, G R. Dalton

The source of the data is the collection of thermal conductivity data produced by NIST from 1933 to 1983 using their 200 mm guarded-hot-plate apparatus. During its service, the apparatus was considered the U.S. National standard for thermal conductivity

Interlaboratory 'Pilot Run' Study of Small Heat-Flow-Meter Apparatus for ASTM C 518

November 1, 1999

Author(s)

Robert R. Zarr, E S. Lagergren

Thermal conductivity measurements of a high-density glass-fiber thermal insulation material near 24 C are presented for the determination of the precision and bias of ASTM Test Method C 518. The measurements have been conducted by 13 laboratories using

Performance Testing of Alternative Blowing Agents for Foam Insulation of Residential Water Heaters

November 1, 1999

Author(s)

Arthur H. Fanney, Robert R. Zarr

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has requested the assistance of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to conduct analyses to determine if the energy efficiency requirements for electric, gas- and oil-fired residential water heaters should be

Analytical Study of Residential Buildings With Reflective Roofs

October 1, 1998

Author(s)

Robert R. Zarr

Annual heating (cooling) loads, peak heating (cooling) loads, and exterior roof temperatures for a small compact ranch house are computed using the Thermal Analysis Research Program (TARP) developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

NIST/NRC-Canada Interlaboratory Comparison of Guarded Hot Plate Measurements: 1993-1997

June 1, 1997

Author(s)

Robert R. Zarr, M K. Kumaran, E S. Lagergren

Thermal conductivity measurements from an international interlaboratory study between the United States and Canada are presented for two materials, glass-fiber board and fibrous alumina silica. The measurements were determined using guarded hot plate
