Thermal bridging is an important consideration in Low Energy Building design. Generally, the aim is to wrap the entire thermal envelope in a blanket of insulation, thereby eliminating all bridges. However, practicalities and cost may prevent this goal from being achieved. To properly assess junctions that contain thermal bridging, 2D thermal modelling is often needed. This modelling must be carefully performed using validated software to ensure accurate results.
In this course, participants will learn the fundamentals of thermal bridging calculations for wood-framed construction. Common junction details and their modelling conventions will be examined. Modelling techniques will be taught using Therm. Participants will be given the opportunity to perform calculations with in-course exercises. Support for participants is offered via posting in the chat section for each video for the Course.
Course extensions can be provided, to get more time to complete the course, please reach out to us at: training@peelpassivehouse.ca for more information.
Participants must have a familiarity with Excel and basic building heat loss calculations.
Building energy modellers, building envelope consultants, engineers, architects and other building professionals that wish to understand and quantify thermal bridging.
