*The R-value equivalent stated refers to a comparison of a SmartBlock insulating form wall versus wood framing 16" on center with the cavities filled with fiberglass batt insulation. This is the "standard" that is used when comparing R-values and thermal insulation factors for use with the various energy agencies.
