I actually helped to develop a method to model thermal bridges in
DOE-2 back in 1986 that has never been widely disseminated,
although I still find it the most practical way to model 2-D heat
flows in whole-building simulations.<br>
<br>
This method uses a two-dimensional finite-element program
(WALFERFN) that calculates one-dimensional equivalent response
factors which are written directly into the DOE-2 layers library
(BDLLIB.DAT), which can then be called by DOE-2 just like any
other response factor in the library.<br>
<br>
I've always used this technique in my residential modeling, with
the added benefit of not needing to input duplicate sets of wall
layers for the stud and non-stud portions, which measurably
simplifies the models and makes them easier to read. The last
time I did significant work on this subject was in 2000-2002, when
I created for the California Energy Commission a library of over
100 wall layers with metal framing and thus considerable thermal
bridging. I compared the wall assembly U-values to that
calculated by ORNL's Heating-7 program, and they were right on.
Unfortunately, a few years after the project was completed, the
Commission decided to move to EnergyPlus as their reference
program, and so this work was effectively abandoned.<br>
<br>
For more information on this technique, i.e., creating 2-D
response factors, please see this report:<br>

<br>
If there's anyone who's still running DOE-2 in batch, rather than
just the eQUEST interface, this procedure should be quite
understandable. Just e-mail me and I'll be happy to give you a
copy of the WALFERFN program and some sample input files. <br>

Hello Sir,<br>
eQuest does not have the capability to directly model
thermal bridges. The typical methodology is to calculate
the effective U-value of the insulation/thermal bridge
layer when building your layers for the construction. BC
Hydro has published significant research on building
envelope thermal bridging. See the lower portion of the
webpage:<br>
