Achieving compliance with increasingly stringent energy efficiency requirements necessitates a thorough understanding and accurate assessment of thermal bridges. What was once a secondary consideration is now a crucial requirement for meeting building regulations and minimizing the performance gap between design and actual energy use.
Imagine your building envelope – the walls, roof, and floor – as a thermal barrier designed to keep heat in during cold weather and out during warm weather. Thermal bridges are localized areas within this barrier where heat flows much more easily than through the surrounding materials. Think of them as weak points in your building’s insulation.
