Timber construction thermal bridge catalogue and tool
A thermal bridge catalogue for timber constructions helps estimate heat losses in passive houses, with custom calculations required for significant design deviations.
Luca Papapietro
A thermal bridge is a building envelope area with increased heat flow, causing lower interior surface temperatures, potential moisture issues, and higher heat losses.
When planning a passive house, precise energy balance calculations are crucial due to its low energy requirements.
Small deviations in design have significant effects. To address this, a thermal bridge catalogue for timber constructions is provided.
This catalogue helps estimate heat losses, especially for elements like wall end cross-sections.
