Con-Ed Opportunities Detail

When it comes to energy use and heat loss, thermal bridging often plays a key role in the gap between designed and actual performance.

 As our wall systems have become increasingly better insulated, thermal bridging has come to represent a much larger percentage of overall building energy loss. However, despite its significant impact, many energy standards, heat loss calculations, and whole building simulations still overlook this critical phenomena. Neglecting the impact from thermal bridges can result in predicted energy performance that often falls short of reality with few options for real improvements once construction is done.

 Join us and Peter Adams, Senior Building Science Engineer at Stantec, as we take a holistic look at the topic of thermal bridging, from how far we have come in understanding and addressing thermal bridging in building envelopes  to where we need to go as an industry to reach thermal truth.
