Thermal Bridges Minimizing through Window Jamb in Low Energy Buildings

Abstract:

Building envelopes with high thermal resistance are typical for low-energy buildings. Detailed specification and calculation of each thermal bridge in these buildings should be taken into account. This paper is focused on thermal bridges minimizing through typical window systems in building envelopes. The aim of this article is to analyze the window position influence, as regards on thermal performance and to point out the installation modality in accordance with the characterization of the windows performance. This can be done by quantifying the percentage increment of the window jamb thermal transmittance. The calculated results also demonstrate that there is significant difference between results obtained by various available calculation approaches. This can be significant especially in buildings with high thermal protection.
