In this 6-week online course, participants will learn the fundamentals of thermal bridging calculations and examine modelling conventions for common 2D and 3D details. Modelling techniques will be taught using Heat3.

Heat3 is a 3D thermal modelling tool that lets users calculate the impact of 3D thermal bridges. The tool is gradually becoming the standard tool used for calculating thermal will thus be an invaluable tool for building energy modellers and envelope consultants to understand.
