ALMEMO® Measuring system for Measuring thermal transmittance (U) and heat flow

The thermal transmittance coefficient (U value) is an important rating in civil engineering and the construction industry where it is used to define a building’s transmission heat loss through its various structural elements. It is now possible, with the ALMEMO® measuring system, to measure and record all the physical parameters for the component parts of existing buildings (e.g. walls, etc.) in order to calculate their U value and other relevant thermal energy coefficients.
