Breaking Thermal Bridges: A Guide to the Divide
Join three experienced practitioners of thermal bridging mitigation as they share details that minimize thermal losses, reduce condensation potential and increase thermal comfort. Our focus will be constructable, high-efficacy details for both new construction and retrofits. We’ll also debunk the effectiveness of schemes that promise thermal loss reductions but don’t deliver. We will consider the total carbon benefits — a good solution reduces operational carbon while minimizing embodied carbon as well.
Got a puzzling or challenging detail? Submit it using this form by 3/9/26. We’ll pick a few and do a live in-session review. Don’t be shy!
