Abstract
Thermal bridging has become more of an issue following the introduction of the 2006 revision part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales. The term refers to the additional heat loss from a building as a result of either geometry (for example at corners) or components of relatively high thermal conductivity penetrating the insulated envelope (such as fixings and other structural elements). This heat flow must be added to the plane heat loss, accounted for in the U-value, to give a true measure of actual fabric heat loss.
