foot of exposed edge of 42 B.t.u.h. for heated slabs. Calculations
of heat loss around slab edges shall be made using the following
formula:
H = F X P
WHERE:
H = Heat loss of the slab edge in B.t.u.h.
F = Heat loss coefficient from Table No. 17 -F in B.t.u.h.
per linear foot of exposed edge.
P = Perimeter or exposed slab edge (linear feet).
