Building Science Review
A thermal bridge is an area of a building where heat flows more easily because insulation is interrupted or structural elements conduct heat.
Reducing thermal bridges improves energy efficiency, enhances indoor comfort, and helps prevent condensation.
Buyers commonly assess insulation continuity, thermal calculations, energy performance, condensation control, and compliance with building standards.
Future developments are expected to include advanced insulation materials, thermal simulation software, optimized connection systems, and higher energy-efficiency standards.
