Thermal Bridging analysis applied to windows installation

These heat flow analyses are what is needed in Passivhaus construction as the energy loss is accounted for with every thermal bridge. There is a lot of window frame length in a building and all of this heat loss adds up.

The use of 2D heat flow analysis allows the building to be designed and detailed to both work as well as it should and manage the risk of condensation to a level that is appropriate for the building in its climate.

Only the PHPP energy modelling can account for this energy loss, not only in windows but in every building junction.
