An insulation material has a thermal resistance rating of R-value =13 hft2F/BTUR\text{-value } = 13\text{ h}\cdot\text{ft}^2\cdot{}^\circ\text{F}/\text{BTU}. What is the equivalent thermal resistance in SI units (Km2/W\text{K}\cdot\text{m}^2/\text{W})? Given: 1 foot=0.3048 meters1\text{ foot} = 0.3048\text{ meters}, 1 BTU1055.06 Joules1\text{ BTU} \approx 1055.06\text{ Joules}, 1 watt=1 Joule/second1\text{ watt} = 1\text{ Joule/second}, and temperature intervals satisfy 1.8F=1 K1.8{}^\circ\text{F} = 1\text{ K}.
