Assessing heat loss and moisture riskThermal bridges are areas in the building fabric where heat flows faster than the surroundings. This may be a steel beam penetrating through a wall, an insulated slab edge, or a corner with a lot of timber in it.
Areas like these can result in several issues:
Assessing the risk of these during the design phase can avoid a lot of issues further down the line, when a junction or detail has already been build. Modelling of some thermal bridges is also a requirement of Homestar, and Passive House. Get in touch to see how we can help |
