An exploration of the measured and modelled thermal characteristics of structural thermal breaks in UK buildings (2024)
Thesis
Pemberton, J. An exploration of the measured and modelled thermal characteristics of structural thermal breaks in UK buildings. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research explores the measured and modelled thermal characteristics of structural thermal breaks (STBs) in UK buildings. Thermal bridging (TB) in building envelopes can significantly affect the fabric heat loss of a building, leading to higher e...
