Thermal Bridging Analysis AI
AI analysis of thermal bridges in building envelopes for energy efficiency.
Definition
Thermal Bridging Analysis AI identifies and quantifies thermal bridges in building envelope assemblies. It analyzes connection details, structural penetrations, and material interfaces to calculate heat loss and recommend design modifications that improve energy performance.
In Depth
Thermal bridges — locations where insulation is bypassed by conductive materials (steel studs, concrete slabs, window frames) — reduce the effective thermal performance of the building envelope and create condensation risk. AI performs two-dimensional and three-dimensional thermal analysis at critical details to quantify the heat loss and verify that interior surface temperatures remain above the dew point.
