<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=788410901-20022007>I am modeling a
proposed building with rectangular concrete pillars that thermally bridge the
building shell with neither interior nor exterior insulation. The exterior
portion of the pillars extend about 1.5' beyond the building's skin and
are 1.5' wide. There are enough of them that they shouldn't be ignored, but
I haven't found any good references on how to model them. I am assuming either
an adjustment to the exposed area of the pillar or an adjustment to the material
characteristics is in order. I don't want to make this into a research project,
so I'm wondering if there are any good rules of thumb out there.
Anyone?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
