Simulating and Visualising Thermal Bridges
THERM is a state-of-the-art, Windows-based computer program developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for use by building component manufacturers, engineers, educators, students, architects, and others interested in heat transfer. Using THERM, you can model two-dimensional heat-transfer effects in building components such as windows, walls, foundations, roofs, and doors; appliances; and other products where thermal bridges are of concern. THERM’s heat-transfer analysis allows you to evaluate a product’s energy efficiency and local temperature patterns, which may relate directly to problems with condensation, moisture damage, and structural integrity.
Read “Visualizing Thermal Transfer Data in AutoCAD Architecture” on Bimology to learn how to use Therm to visualise thermal transfer data in 3D.
