Effect of Thermal Bridge in Light-Frame Wood Wall
BioResources, 2022 The presence of thermal bridges in a wall increases local heat conduction of the building envelope, resulting in a decrease in the wall’s average thermal resistance. Simultaneously, the internal surface temperature of thermal bridge is lower than that of
