Control of building enclosure energy loss is critical for avoiding condensation and to achieve high levels of energy efficiency. However, buildings haven’t gotten much better in this regard over the years. In this presentation, the fundamentals of thermal control are presented and applied to modern buildings. Effective methods of addressing thermal bridging, with a focus on continuous exterior insulation, will be discussed through illustrations of common wall assembly details.
