A building used for light industrial assembly in Asheville, NC has a roof deck that sits on structural steel with a suspended ceiling below. The roof deck consists of 1.5in thick wood with R-3 insulation board and a suspended ceiling below with R-19 insulation located on the ceiling tile. What is the heat loss for this assembly on a design winter day if the roof measures 250ft by 40ft and the indoor temperature is to be maintained at 70⁰?
