thermal bridge JUST WRITTEN FOR YOU
/ˈθɜːrməl ˈbrɪdʒ/ · ther·mal bridge
noun
- A point of high heat transfer between a building's interior and exterior, often caused by a structural element or a gap in insulation. The architect designed the building with thermal bridges in mind, using insulation to minimize heat loss.
noun
- A location where heat transfer occurs between two different materials or environments, such as between a building and the surrounding air. The thermal bridge between the roof and the attic space was a major contributor to the building's high energy bills.
Did you know? The concept of thermal bridges has been studied extensively in the field of building science, with researchers developing new materials and designs to minimize heat transfer and reduce energy consumption.
