Quick answer
Conductive heat loss rises with area and temperature difference and falls with thickness.
Q = k × A × ΔT ÷ thickness

Frequently asked questions
What is a good U-value?
Below 0.3 W/m²K for modern insulated walls.
Does this include air films?
No — real U-values add internal and external surface resistances.
