Calculation Procedures for Assessing Thermal Bridging Impacts
Learning Objectives:
- Define and differentiate Clear Field , Linear, and Point thermal bridging.
- Recognize calculation procedure to account for Linear and Point thermal bridging (Psi and Chi-values).
- Calculate average u-value impact from basic linear and point thermal bridges.
- Identify additional tools, software, and resources to assist with thermal bridge accounting.
- Explain outputs of thermal bridge analysis tools to inform detail improvements.
- Recognize how thermal bridging is addressed in the Stretch Code.

This webinar is part of the Thermal Bridging Academy
Dylan Martello, Senior Building Systems Consultant, Passive House Services - CPHD, will review the calculations procedures for architects to assess how thermal bridging impact overall thermal performance of an envelope.
The presentation will be followed by a moderated discussion focused on how the project addresses several key issues.
