How effective are thermal breaks? 

Thermal breaks and heat loss   Determining the thermal conductivity of a material means we can find out the rate at which heat flows it. This helps us work out the efficiency of the material before it is incorporated within a building envelope. Two factors on...

Why aren’t thermal breaks used more in buildings? 

Are thermal breaks overlooked?  For a brighter future for the construction industry, the EU has established a legislation outline including the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU and the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU. This is to help with:...

Where does thermal bridging occur?

A closer look at thermal bridging… To understand more about how, why and where thermal bridging occurs, we firstly need to look into different building connections outlined in the very initial stages of a construction project. The bridging occurs when heat passes...
