physics (condensation and mold) of walls, the description of this effect was included in the<br>
building description. Thermal loss rates are found in thermal bridge (coldbridge) catalogues, and<br>
are normally defined in W/m length of the coldbridge or, in TRNSYS units, in kJ/h m. Walltypes<br>
for coldbridges are special coldbridge types defined with a resistance and therefore are<br>
considered to be without thermal capacitance.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
