One way thermal bridges can occur is where there are regular interruptions in the insulation such as at wall ties or studwork (known as repeating thermal bridges). These are considered in the U-value calculation. The jointing arrangement between SIPs allows much greater continuity of in...
wall ratio to achieve maximum energy savings is 0.24; the heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of the north and south façades should be less than 2.5 W/(m2·K), while the U-value for the east and west façades should be less than 2 W/(m2·K) to avoid thermal asymmetry, ...

The building properties examined were the window-to-wall ratio, the wall U-value, the glazing construction U-value, the glazing g-value, and the airtightness. However, the study did not examine the impact of different material choices for the building. Pathirana et al. (2019) studied the ...

It is not intended to replace the regulations but to complement them, as the latter are essential for understanding the calculation. This library is meant to be used for demonstration and testing purposes and is therefore provided as open source, without protection against misuse or inappropriate ...
Plant materials used in the construction of segments and beacon towers of the ancient Great Wall in northwestern China contain untapped potential for revealing local paleoclimatic and environmental conditions. For the first time, we characterize the mole
The lack of uniform regulations cost the state $101 million in grant money from FEMA between 2020 and 2022, the applications were denied at least in part because Colorado lacks a statewide building code (RMPBS). Colorado Springs, CO - After the Waldo Canyon Fire, Colorado Springs enacted ...
