Thermal Bridging Playbook and Thermal Envelope Integration
Abstract
Owens Corning has resources that highlights how insulation can be used more effectively on projects, with a focus on achieving high levels of thermal performance and balancing a multitude of objectives.
The Owens Corning Thermal Bridging Playbook provides examples of the process that is necessary to arrive at optimal solutions from a holistic perspective for large commercial and residential (Part 3) buildings in Canada.
A notable new feature is to import a new collection into your personal Thermal Envelope account from the Owens Corning microsite. This new collection allows you to interactively explore the Owens Corning Thermal Bridging Playbook examples and review the detailed assumptions that are part of the thermal transmittance calculations.
The new collection has all the BETB data and result sheets that were used in the calculations, the quantity take-off for the example building, and all the scenarios outlined in the playbook. Not only is this a great learning resource, but also a potential starting point for your next project.
