Thermal Bridges.

Post by yalinu » Tue Sep 09, 2008 10:10 am -1100

I am a new member of the forum and would like to say hello to everyone here.

I am working on a building assembly that has some thermal bridges.

Is there an approximate way to simulate a thermal bridge in WUFI using heat sources and sinks?

Finally, what would be the best location to place the heat source/sink. For example: in the center of the layer, or close to a layer surface.

I would greatly appreciate advice from anyone that has gone through a procedure or process to simulate a thermal bridge in WUFI 4.

Best,

Yalin

Dear Yalin,

I think it is not the right way to simulate thermal bridges using sources and sinks.

The best position of the source/sink depends on your specific problem.

Thanks Manfred. Just wanted to know if there were any precedents for it.
