    P = K x ∆T x A / d

    P = 0.96 x 14 x (0.89)(0.38) / (0.005) = 909 watts rounded to 910 watts

    Thermal Conductivity

    P = K x ∆T x A / d

    K is thermal conductivity in W/m•K

    P is power in watts transferred through the material

    K is thermal conductivity of the material in W/m•K

    ∆T is change in temperature across the material

    A is cross-sectional area in m²

    d is thickness in m

    Glass, window 0.96 W/m•K
