Answer:

Add the thermal R values of each wall layer.

Explanation:

Fiberglass insulation R value, sheetrock, sheathing, siding etc.  All sum together to one composite opposition to heat transfer/loss.

Q= U x A x Delta T

Q= heat transfer btuh

U= 1/R inverse of resistance

A= area of surface

Delta T is temerature difference across the wall.
