Thermal bridges

Go to the Thermal bridges form
Set all length specific thermal bridge coefficients to ‘Typical’
👉
Alternatively, you can give the thermal bridge coefficients by entering their values into the text boxes
👉
You can also define an area specific thermal bridge coefficient
Close the Thermal bridges form

Open the Zone form of ‘BigOffice’
Check the total loss factor for thermal bridges for the whole zone, calculated from the thermal bridge coefficients.
Open the Loss factor calculation form
Check the contributions of the particular origins of the loss factor
👉
Change any value for this particular zone (e.g. in case it has leakier window frames than the rest of the building)
👉
Choose ‘Break the link’
👉
Finalize
Note: Values highlighted in grey indicate parameters calculated by a link to other parameters. Values highlighted in yellow indicate broken links. Values highlighted in blue indicate values taken from defaults.

👉
Open the menu for the parameter with the broken link
👉
Choose ‘Mapping’...
👉
... and ‘Restore broken link’
