| Abstract | Walls and roofs designed today often incorporate details that have a lower resistance to heat flow than the main construction. In general, these details are thermally weak because high-conductivity structural elements project partly or wholly through materials of lower conductivity; in this Digest they are referred to as "thermal bridges". To provide a basis for recognizing and minimizing the problems presented by thermal bridges, this Digest deals with a few examples and illustrates factors that influence their thermal performance. |
