Passivhaus: Thermal Bridge Free Design

Description

This CPD aims to give in-depth design advice on thermal bridge free design for Passivhaus Projects.

The seminar includes the definition of "Thermal Bridge Free" and how to apply this specifically to projects. Also, general rules to improve thermal bridging performance of details including windows and how to implement in the PHPP. There is a thermal bridging manual calculation and several examples of thermal bridge free details.

By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:

- How to identify potential thermal bridging issues.

- Types of thermal bridge within structures.

- Passivhaus planning package PHPP with thermal bridging data for project.

- How to manually calculate thermal bridging transmittance factors (Psi) for junctions.

- How to develop "Thermal Bridge Free" details.
