About this tool
The Thermal Bridging Calculation Tool helps you understand how thermal bridging affects the thermal performance of cavity‑insulated timber‑framed walls.
Thermal bridging occurs when elements such as framing, windows, and doors allow heat to pass more easily through the wall. This tool calculates how these elements influence the overall R‑value (or U‑value) of a wall system, providing a more realistic picture of wall performance than simple, one‑dimensional calculations.
The tool also creates a visual heat‑flow image, similar to what you would see with a thermal imaging camera, making it easier to understand where heat is being lost.
