tog to clo Converter

The TOG to CLO converter provides an accurate, instant conversion between these two thermal insulation units. Both Tog and Clo measure the insulating performance of materials, but they use different standardized scales.

We utilize established international formulas that correlate the heat transfer resistance (R-value) implied by a given Tog rating to its equivalent CLO value. This ensures that whether you are working with UK/Imperial standards (Tog) or European standards (CLO), your results are consistent and reliable.

• Input: Enter the Tog value of your material.
• Process: Our algorithm applies the necessary conversion factor, accounting for air permeability and specific thermal conductivity.
• Output: Receive the corresponding CLO rating, allowing you to compare materials across different regulatory frameworks seamlessly.

To maximize the accuracy and utility of your conversion, remember to consider all components contributing to the overall thermal envelope.

• Specify the material type: If possible, use the manufacturer's recommended conversion factor or input the specific density and conductivity of the material for maximum precision.
• Check standards dates: Building codes are updated frequently. Always verify that the data you are converting is based on current international standards (e.g., EN 12667).

For complex assemblies, calculate the total thermal resistance (R-value) first, and then use this tool to convert that single R-value into both CLO and Tog for comprehensive reporting.
