THERM Workshop, Bucharest  
Location : Sala cursuri Bucuresti str. Academiei nr.7, etaj 1, Sector 1, 010011 Bucharest
From: Sunday 12 May 2013, 10:00
To: Sunday 12 May 2013, 19:00

 

A thermal bridge, also called a cold bridge, is a fundamental of heat transfer where a penetration of the insulation layer by a highly conductive or non-insulating material takes place in the separation between the interior and exterior building enclosure. Thermal bridging occurs wherever assembly components with high U-values relative to surrounding materials span from the inside to the outside of a building assembly. 
 
The thermal bridges can result in:
accelerated heat loss through that area
localized cold spots on the interior of a wall that may cause a risk of condensation
 
The participants of the course will learn how to calculate thermal bridges using THERM and Excel for use in the Passive House Design Package. Using this program they can verify the influence of the thermal bridges and how they can optimize them.
During the one day workshop the participants will be able to make a simulation for an old building, identify the thermal bridges, and calculate them. They will be able to optimize these details and develop thermal bridge free details and calculations, suitable

Lecturers:
 
Arch. Norana Petre, Certified Passive House Designer. Mrs. Norana Petre is an architect and a Certified Passive House Designer by PHI in Darmstadt, Germany. 
Norana is a passionate advocate of Passive House design, sustainability and energy efficiency. She graduated the University of Architecture and Urbanism ‘Ion Mincu’, Bucharest, Romania. She is proficient in working with Therm, a software tool, for the determination of Thermal Bridging Psi Values and with the Passive 
House Planning Package (PHPP).
.
 
Arch. Razvan Enescu, specialist in energy efficiency of the buildings  Mr. Razvan Enescu is an expert in thermal bridging calculations and has done a lot of research of their impact on the thermal envelope. His area of expertise also includes the embodied energy of insulation materials, some of which we were pleased to publish on our website. He works for ATELIERUL DE CASE in Bucharest.
