Thermal conductivity common use in the construction and textile industries. The construction industry makes use of units such as the R-value (resistance) and the U-value (transmittance). Although related to the thermal conductivity of a material used in an insulation product, R- and U-values are dependent on the thickness of the product. Likewise the textile industry has several units including the tog and the clo which express thermal resistance of a material in a way analogous to the R-values used in the construction industry. There are a number of ways to measure thermal conductivity. Each of these is suitable for a limited range
Rinker School of Building Construction Administration, as a result of Rinker's prerequisite and upper division coursework, which satisfies a majority of the minor's requirements. Rinker School of Building Construction The M. E. Rinker, Sr., School of Construction Management at the University of Florida prepares graduates for careers in the construction industry. The core curriculum includes a mix of technical, managerial, and business courses. Graduates receive a comprehensive education including theory and practical applications. Courses are offered leading to the Bachelor of Science in Building Construction, the Master of Building Construction or Master of Science in Building Construction, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
