Higher thermal performance in buildings is being called up by building codes and industry associations across the globe and the focus is now on energy efficient buildings and costs savings increases.
In the past, building professionals have had to think outside the box when selecting insulation for their walls, floors and roofs. Advances in insulation technology have led to a number of solutions entering the market that can accommodate the changing requirements and expectations within the industry.
Continuous insulation has become a hot topic and the benefits of using continuous insulation are being realised. Thermal bridging in buildings is an important factor that needs to be addressed when designing or building an energy efficient building with high thermal performance.
It is important to understand thermal bridging, know how to identify areas that are prone to it and be able to adequately combat it with the use of your insulation.
