R-value (insulation) typical straw bale houses have very thick walls and thus are well insulated. Snow is roughly R-1 per inch. Brick has a very poor insulating ability at a mere R-0.2 per inch; however it does have a relatively good thermal mass. Note that the above examples all use the U.S. (non-SI) definition for R-value. When determining the overall thermal resistance of a building assembly such as a wall or roof, the insulating effect of the surface air film is added to the thermal resistance of the other materials. In practice the above surface values are used for floors, ceilings, and
TAXI (A&R) A quick perusal of their user forum shows a clear majority of placements came from networking and not through the actual forwarding of materials by TAXI to industry professionals. Taxi’s A&R team is made up industry professionals who are experts in a specific genre of music.
