"BTU·in/hr·ft²·°F" is a very cursed unit of thermal conductivity

@Felthry ...why is there a length term on both sides of that ⁄ ?

@terrana I have no idea, but that's the units this datasheet uses. I guess you'd be more likely to measure thickness in inches than feet?

@Felthry Maybe? Dividing by 12 isn't exactly hard, especially considering that's exactly what in/ft means.

@terrana Could just be the same reason you might talk about newton-meters compared to joules
