Thermal bridges

GettingStarted_c2e6bc60.png

GettingStarted_a094dc9a.png Go to the Thermal bridges form

GettingStarted_6d3a9715.png Set all length specific thermal bridge coefficients to ‘Typical’

👉 GettingStarted_4628e94.png Alternatively, you can give the thermal bridge coefficients by entering their values into the text boxes

👉 GettingStarted_40e48000.png You can also define an area specific thermal bridge coefficient

GettingStarted_91b60a9a.png Close the Thermal bridges form

GettingStarted_db140f4b.png

GettingStarted_a094dc9a.png Open the Zone form of ‘BigOffice’

GettingStarted_6d3a9715.png Check the total loss factor for thermal bridges for the whole zone, calculated from the thermal bridge coefficients.

GettingStarted_4628e94.png Open the Loss factor calculation form

GettingStarted_40e48000.png Check the contributions of the particular origins of the loss factor

👉 GettingStarted_91b60a9a.png Change any value for this particular zone (e.g. in case it has leakier window frames than the rest of the building)

👉 GettingStarted_72677792.png Choose ‘Break the link’

👉 GettingStarted_9d1e2b7c.png 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.

GettingStarted_35464a67.png

👉 GettingStarted_a094dc9a.png Open the menu for the parameter with the broken link

👉 GettingStarted_6d3a9715.png Choose ‘Mapping’...

👉 GettingStarted_4628e94.png ... and ‘Restore broken link’

GettingStarted_40e48000.png Close the loss factor calculation form

GettingStarted_91b60a9a.png Close the zone form
