but the wall is not insulated. So you'd still use ref method A?

Not that I'm being funny, just in case i come across it in the future.

It may be necessary to speak to the builders to determine the thermal properties of the partition (there may be a data sheet), but if it cannot be determined then err on the side of caution & assume ref method A.

 

[The Truth]

that partition is actually a type of ACOUSTIC partition designed to reduce noise between rooms. thermal properties minimal. treat as hollow stud without insulation.if it really matters anyway
