The impacts of thermal bridging have long been known in the building industry. Balconies, floor/wall interfaces, shelf angles, canopies/overhangs, penetrations, and parapets have a significant impact upon energy performance, condensation resistance, building durability, and occupant comfort. This presentation will begin by exploring the importance of thermal bridging in Oregon and other climates. Additionally, the speaker will address multiple building types, sizes, wall constructions, and costs, showing numerous real-world examples showing how thermal bridging can be mitigated at numerous conditions around the building skin.
