About this document
Understanding Thermal Bridges by Aklesh Gupta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Thermal bridges are areas of an object that have higher thermal conductivity than surrounding materials, allowing heat to transfer more easily into or out of a building envelope. They work through conduction, carrying heat through the path of least resistance. Examples include floor-wall junctions and window frames. Thermal bridges can cause increased energy consumption and risk of condensation and mold growth. Higher R-values and continuous insulation layers can help reduce their impacts. Design methods to
