The main worksheet is the Wall Gradients worksheet. It is protected so that you won't make
unecessary mistakes while entering data. If you wish to make changes you can unprotect the document
since there is no password.
The Saturation Pressure Worksheet shows the coefficients of the polynomial that is used to
approximate the Saturated Water Pressure in the range -50c to 50c for which this equation is valid.
Notes:
- The worksheet is set up to accept up to 8 materials in the wall plus the airfilms on either side. You
should work from the left side entering material names, thickness and properties. The worksheet will
work properly if you enter fewer than 8 materials.
- For thermal resistance the sheet is set up to expect Resistance per inch and then to calculate the total
resistance based on the thickness of the material. If you are given a specific Resistance (as for an air
film) then you can overide the calcuation.
- Similarly, for Vapor Resistance the sheet is set up to accept permeability and then calculate vapor
resistance per inch and the actual vapor resistance. You can override these last two.

Joint Width
The necessary width for a joint is addressed in Chapter 9 of Thermal and Moisture Protection Manual. There are
components that must included to determine the design width.
