          Thermal bridging contributes significant heat loss which results in uncertainty during the design development of concrete frame buildings. At the same time thermal bridge modelling can become a high cost design activity, with frequent update requirements. We will explore strategies for risk mitigation at early stage design, share λ- and ψ-values we have calculated for different situations and present some general observations from our 2D and 3D thermal bridge modelling….
