Thermal Bridging

                      

The Aerogel insulation technology developed by NASA. Thermal bridging is an acute problem when it comes to insulating building. It is estimated that 40% of our energy is used to control the temperature in buildings alone. Over 30% of the energy  used  for temperature control  in  buildings  escape through  walls, more  than  through  the  floor, windows or roof. The study show 38% of the walls heat loss can be through the studs of the structure.

Thermal bridges take places commonly in reinforced concrete exterior walls surrounding, ring beams, lintels doors, reinforced concrete or steel frame beams, columns, reinforced concrete, where the metal frame and window extrude to outside. Cover the whole building without any missed area, which means no "holes" in the insulation. If there are, heat transfers significantly through any "hole", greatly reducing the whole system of insulation. If well insulated, your building ought to stay warmer during cold winter months and cooler in the summer.

Classification of thermal bridges:-

 Repeating thermal bridges:-

·        It is usually follow a regular path.

·        The temperature should be uniform at the roof.

·        It causes a significant amount of heat loss.

 Non-repeating thermal brides:-

·        It is occur at a specific point in the construction.

·        It most commonly occurs around the opening of Windows and doors.

 Geometrical thermal bridges:-

·        Depending on the shape of the structure it can be of 2-D and 3-D.

·        It is usually occurs at external wall corners and at a junction including wall, window and door.

Review of Benefits:
