Heat loss due to linear thermal bridging

The heat loss due to linear thermal bridging () is a physical quantity used when calculating the energy performance of buildings. It appears in both United Kingdom[1] and Irish[2] methodologies.

Calculation

The calculation of the heat loss due to linear thermal bridging is relatively simple, given by the formula below:[3]

In the formula, if Accredited Construction details used, and otherwise, and is the sum of all the exposed areas of the building envelope,

gollark: Hence the cluster, yes.
gollark: I WILL simulate a vast cluster of these and I WILL do machine learning™ with it somehow.
gollark: I cannot be stopped, actually.
gollark: Besides, 68ks didn't have hardware machine learning™ trendiness™™. Yours, of course, is to.
gollark: I was responding to gibson, of course.
