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 ...

Application Research of a Biomass Insulation Material: Eliminating Building Thermal Bridges
Sustainability, 2022 Building joints always lead to water leakage, wind penetration, and thermal bridges, which especially cannot be ignored in prefabricated buildings. Thus, in order to solve this problem, we propose a novel and feasible insulating element with a multi ...

Instantaneous field measurements of thermal bridge parameters in ground floor residential room [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The “thermal bridges” are defined as an isolated building’s areas, where the construction elements have higher thermal conductivity, compared with the rest of the building envelope.

Efficiency of Different Balcony Slab Modernization Method in Retrofitted Multi-Family Buildings
Energies, 2021 Many buildings have considerable thermal bridges at the junction of balcony slabs with walls. To achieve the new EU directive targets related to energy efficiency, greater attention should be paid to such design details.

Bridging‐Droplet Thermal Diodes
Advanced Functional Materials, 2020 AbstractPhase‐change thermal diodes effectively transport heat unidirectionally, but are currently constrained by either a gravitational dependence, a 1D configuration, or poor durability. Here, a novel bridging‐droplet thermal diode which uniquely bypasses all of these existing constraints is developed.

Thermographic 2D U-value map for quantifying thermal bridges in building façades
Energy and Buildings, 2020 Thermal bridges accounted for 30% of the impact on the energy performance of European residential building stock. Nevertheless, European countries and their standards do not take into account the influences of this type of anomaly.
