Reducing Thermal Bridging in Floor/Wall Junction Designs

Reducing Thermal Bridging in Floor/Wall Junction Designs

Reducing thermal bridging at the wall to floor junction is increasingly important since Thermal Bridging heat loss can account for up to 30% of the building’s total energy loss and because current building regulations state that “there should be no reasonably avoidable thermal bridges in the insulation envelope.” This avoidable heat loss (the Y value) can often make the difference between complying and not complying with the target emissions rates in SAP / SBEM. This seminar looks at the various methods to reduce this Y value to help achieve compliance.
