Survey of Building Envelope Thermal Anomalies, and Assessment of Thermal Break Materials for Anomaly Correction. Volume 2. Final Report

摘要

The meeting dealt with additional heat losses from buildings due to thermal bridges (insulation defects) and due to convective flow in air spaces. Besides the greater heat losses, these problems can lead to discomfort (due to cold walls) and to damage resulting from moisture condensation and molds, etc. The more obvious of these problems are described and possible solutions considered. Where feasible, sections of the proceeding have been entered individually into EDB and ERA. (ERA citation 10:048949)
