Thermal Conductivity Study

Scope: Some scenarios can truly benefit from 3D thermal modelling. Especially when it comes to light gauge building envelopes or other "stick-framed" assemblies with members perpendicular to each other. Typically, thermal performance is analyzed by a multitude of 2D sections which are then summed up by their relative area, which either neglects or overestimates the influence of members crossing and other line or point conditions. With a full 3D analysis, all these conditions are taken into account.

Thermal conductivity studies are useful on either end of the project development process - be it as a part of feasibility studies, or as a support for contractors.
