URC
=
The thermal transmittance of the ceiling.
 
ARC
=
Ceiling area.
 
UD
=
The thermal transmittance value of the opaque door area.
 
AD
=
Opaque door area.
 
FS
=
Concrete slab on grade component F-factor.
 
PS
=
Lineal ft. of concrete slab on grade perimeter.
 
FBGS
=

NOTE:
Where more than one type of wall, window, roof/ceiling, door and skylight is used, the U and A terms for those items shall be expanded into subelements as:
 
UW1AW1 + UW2AW2 + UW3AW3 + ...etc.
NOTE:
Below grade walls: The wall is assumed to extend from the slab upward to the top of the mud sill for the distance specified in Table A104.1, with 6 inches of concrete wall extending above grade. This will be calculated separately from above grade walls using the wall height that best describes the system.
