<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, where could I find a copy of the “MH Building Envelope Thermal Bridging Guide”, please?<br>
I have never received comments related to thermal bridges (I modeled 7 buildings that were certified LEED).<br>
Generally I model only the thermal bridges that are relative to a material discontinuity (e.g. a pillar in the exterior wall).<br>
Consider that in some cases the value of the thermal bridge could be negative (generally if you consider the exterior dimensions of the envelope).<o:p></o:p></p>
