Build Science 201: Ep. 10 - Thermal Management: Continuity

Описание: Build Science™ 201 continues with thermal management and continuity in building design. Matt and Steve explain the concept of thermal continuity, focusing on how heat flows from hot to cold, which is essential for enhancing energy efficiency in buildings. The discussion covers common building materials, such as wood framing and insulation, noting that while wood provides some thermal resistance, insulation plays a vital role in minimizing heat transfer.

Practical examples illustrate innovative strategies, like using exterior insulation and optimizing designs to reduce thermal bridging. Matt and Steve highlight how adding insulation over existing concrete slabs can significantly improve comfort and energy efficiency in homes. They stress the importance of investing in insulation not only for energy savings but also for creating more comfortable living spaces.

Ultimately, effective thermal management is vital to building energy-efficient, comfortable homes.
