Thermal bridges are points in the building envelope where a difference in thermal energy transfer is perceptible, causing more thermal energy to flow from inside to outside. As a result, in a “heating climate” the surface temperature in the room decreases more quickly than in adjacent areas.
The Build Meets World blog covers the design, construction, testing, restoration, and maintenance of the building envelope. We educate architects, contractors, facility managers, and others in the industry to construct and maintain durable, energy-efficient buildings.
