Energetically critical points in thermally insulating building envelopes are caused by penetrations of building interior concrete slabs through the envelope insulation layers to create external balconies. A new highly insulating balcony thermal break eleme ...
Energetically weak points in thermally insulated building envelopes are formed by thermal breaks that are implemented to structurally connect external balconies to internal slabs. Current thermal breaks comprise stainless steel bars that penetrate the insu ...
The thermal bridges constitute critical regions in building envelopes and they are created due to the interruption of the insulation layer. One of the many structural thermal bridges in building envelopes is created in balcony junctions because of the requ ...
The potential effects of high-performance fiber-reinforced polymer thermal breaks for balcony connections on the thermal losses and heating needs of a typical residential building in Switzerland were investigated. In an optimized form, these new thermal br ...
