    The envelope parameters above for insulation values are listed as U-Values, but I'm guessing that they are really R-values to simplify entry into Sefaira Concept (which uses R-values, not U-values).  Is that correct?

    Hi Kevin,

    thanks a lot for the feedback, that is very useful. This is indeed an R-Value, I will correct that right now. 

    Best Regards,
