effects of thermal bridging on a residential project and approached this by
looking at the average UA value (heating) which accounts for this stud area
component to the overall wall. Uavg = U1A1 + U2A2+U3A3+... See ASHRAE 2005
Fundamentals–CH25. Depending on the level of analysis you are looking at—UA calcs
v potential moisture issues, a computer model may be necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
