0 25 column a is for extensions where the existing dwelling s walls and roof u values are worse than 0 70 w m k in the walls and worse than 0 25 w m k in the ceiling.
Flat roof u value 2017.
U value has an inverse relationship to r value.
The thermal transmittance or u value of the complete roof system is calculated in accordance with established international standards.

Reference table for u values u value is the coefficient of transmission i e the transmission of heat through the materials which compose the building s envelope or outer shell.
Column b is for other extensions upgraded existing thermal elements non exempt conservatories and conversion of unheated.
All structural metal roofing systems having a thickness equal to or greater than 22 gage and all.
For the majority of flat roofs built up in a series of material layers each of a consistent thickness and performance the most appropriate calculation type is the combined method detailed in bs en iso 6946.
For example a building with material with an r value of r 11 converts to an u value of 0 09 1 r or 1 11 0 09.
