Stretch Energy Code Envelope Part 2: Derating New Construction

About the Session: Stretch Energy Code Envelope Part 2

In order to fully account for the thermal loss of exterior wall assemblies, derating calculations need to be performed. Derating for clear field, linear, and point thermal bridges is necessary. This session will describe each of these thermal bridge types, how to derate for each one, and demonstrate calculations to determine the u-factor of an assembly accounting for the derating. We will utilize three methods for accounting for thermal bridges including prescriptive, reference, and modeled. This session will engage attendees in real world calculation examples, and attendees will then use a sample project to do their own calculations.
