Key Takeaways from the Armatherm™ Thermal Bridging Webinar
Thermal bridging is a major concern in modern construction, leading to significant heat loss through the building envelope. Reducing this heat flow is critical for improving energy efficiency and avoiding condensation issues.
The Armatherm seminar Building Better with Thermal Breaks offers one AIA CEU credit for HSW.
- Current building codes highlight the importance of:
- Maintaining continuous insulation and managing thermal bridges
- Using thermal break materials to reduce energy loss in:
- Wall assemblies
- Structural connections that pass through the insulation layer
- Improving the overall thermal performance of the building envelope
The webinar also covers:
Causes, effects and solutions for thermal bridging
Side-by-side comparisons of construction details with and without thermal breaks
The significance of accurate thermal transmittance values and their impact on building performance
