Regulatory Gap in Fenestration Thermal Performance: Integrating Linear Thermal Transmittance into Energy Codes

Sustainability
Fenestration systems play a critical role in building thermal performance, particularly in cooling-dominated climates where envelope inefficiencies directly amplify electricity demand. In Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, cooling accounts for the majority of building energy consumption.

A new method to estimate point thermal transmittance based on combined two-dimensional heat flow calculation [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
A well-insulated, airtight and thermal bridge free building envelope is a key factor for nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB). However, increased insulation thickness and minimized air leakages increase the effect of thermal bridges on overall energy ...

Computation of linear transmittance of thermal bridges in precast concrete sandwich panels

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2014
Precast concrete lightened sandwich panels are widely used building elements. They are made by two concrete wythes separated by a layer of lightweight material: the central layer is inhomogeneous due to the presence of concrete ribs which tie the external wythe and act as thermal bridges.

Variable U-value approaches toward reproducible in-situ estimation of linear thermal transmittance at a T-shaped Junction: A simulation-based preliminary study

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
As zero-energy building policies expand, reliable evaluation of high-performance envelopes has become increasingly important. In highly insulated buildings, reduced heat loss through planar walls increases the relative contribution of thermal bridges ...

THE INFLUENCE OF LINEAR THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE OF THERMAL BRIDGES ON THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE CLASS OF BUILDINGS – SIMPLIFIED METHOD

Archives for Technical Sciences, 2016
<p>Thermal bridges have significant influence at calculation of the energy performance classes of buildings. This especially applies to countries where energy performance classes of buildings are determined based only on energy consumption for heating (such as Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia...).

FEM Analysis: A Review of the Most Common Thermal Bridges and Their Mitigation

Energies, 2022
The necessity to improve the energy saving potential of buildings is now a duty. European and national policies are being implemented to address the important decisions being made on this subject. For these reasons, several studies focus on this relevant
