101 Series: No Thermal Bridges

Our December 101 event is a journey into the world of thermal bridge-free design with Ed May (Partner in the consulting firm bldgtyp, an architecture and consulting firm based in Brooklyn NY.). Uncover the hidden threats posed by thermal bridges-silent culprits sapping your building's energy efficiency and durability. Ed will guide you through identifying these infiltrators, and how to design-out thermal bridges by adding thermal breaks into your critical details-gaps or insulative elements that stop the flow of thermal energy through an assembly.
Learn how thermal bridges impact moisture management, risking dangerous condensation and mold. Discover the transformative power of thermal bridge-free design in enhancing energy efficiency, thermal performance, health, and occupant comfort. Join us for an insightful session that promises to revolutionize your approach to design and building practices.

Sometimes I wonder how this all fits together- windows are the biggest thermal bridge of all time, including triple pane euro windows. All this effort and yet few people build monopoly houses and even fewer people submit to dark houses.i esp scratch my head where someone designs a “passiv house” that has several skylights ! And who forgoes all can lights on a second floor ? And if the goal is a healthy environment, how could you possibly consider have site mixed spray foam installed ?
