REScheck Tips:
REScheck Continuous R-Value – Enter the R-value of any continuous insulation in the above-grade wall. Continuous insulation is continuous over framing members or furring strips and is free of significant thermal bridging. The R-values of other parts of the building assembly (e.g., gypsum board and air films) are accounted for by the program and should not be entered. The default value for a typical wall is a R-value of 0.83, and is used by the program if the Continuous R-Values is left blank or zero is entered.
If you need to calculate the R-value of components the following links help:
