Thermal Bridging Academy
Brought to you by NYSERDA
As New York’s 2025 Energy Conservation Construction Code (ECCCNYS) and other evolving energy standards place greater emphasis on building enclosure performance, understanding thermal bridging is increasingly important for achieving energy efficiency, occupant comfort, durability, and code compliance. The Thermal Bridging Academy is a six-course educational series that explores the causes, impacts, analysis methods, and mitigation strategies associated with thermal bridging in building assemblies. Through technical instruction, practical examples, and code-focused discussions, participants will gain the knowledge needed to evaluate thermal bridge impacts and apply effective enclosure design solutions in today’s high-performance buildings.
