Abstract: Thermal bridges are areas of risk of the building envelope, inducing uncontrolled increments of heat transfer, mainly in winter. This notwithstanding, thermal bridges are often neglected in energy audits, since many numerical codes for building energy simulations adopt heat transfer models based on one-dimensional heat flux: this can cause lack of reliability.
