The net wall area can be expressed mathematically as: ____.

• Gross Wall Area = Net Wall Area - Door Area + Window Area + Area of other components

• Net Wall Area = Gross Wall Area + Door Area + Window Area + Area of other components

• Net Wall Area = Gross Wall Area - Door Area - Window Area - Area of other components

• Gross Wall Area + Net Wall Area = Door Area - Window Area - Area of other components

The heat transfer rate through a window is found through: ____.

• Q = U-value + TD + Area

• Q = U-value + TD × Area

• Q = U-value × TD + Area
