Numerical investigation of buildings point thermal bridges observed on window-thermal insulation interface

Practices to avoid thermal bridges in the building shell, consists one of the key elements in the comprehensive assessment of the energy behaviour of buildings. As we are moving fast to the era of nearly zero energy buildings, both the use of non-invasive measurement techniques as well as the use of...
