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.
