A clear answer. Here’s how.
Uses kelvins per watt for total thermal resistance. Temperature differences have no scale offset: °C/W equals K/W, and °F/W equals 5/9 K/W. BTU is International Table. Area-normalised building R-values in m²·K/W are a different quantity and are excluded. Values are rounded to 12 significant figures for display.
