 Thermal bridges
Thermal bridges, also called ‘cold bridges’, are parts of the building envelope where heat can escape more readily because the building material connects – or bridges – both sides of the building envelope. Examples of thermal bridges include: timber or steel framing in external walls that connect to both the interior and exterior faces of the wall
aluminium window frames that do not have a thermal break
gaps in (poorly) installed insulation. One area of thermal bridging with a high impact on performance is timber framing in walls. In one research study, measurements made of 47 new houses found the average content of timber framing in exterior walls (excluding doors and windows) was 34%. This is much higher than the 14–18% generally assumed. You can find out more in ER53 Measuring the extent of thermal bridging in external timber-framed walls in New Zealand . If insulation has simply been installed between joists or studs, the R-value of the building element is likely to be less than the R-value of the insulation used because of the thermal bridging. Thermal bridging can be reduced through correct installation of insulation, and by using insulating features such as sheathing on the outside of studs or using thermal breaks in aluminium glazing. More detail is provided in the pages on roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation and windows .

Temperature distribution in a thermal bridge
This thermal image shows a thermal bridging of a high-rise building ( Aqua in Chicago)
A thermal bridge, also called a cold bridge, heat bridge, or thermal bypass, is an area or component of an object which has higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding materials, creating a path of least resistance for heat transfer. Thermal bridges result in an overall reduction in thermal resistance of the object. The term is frequently discussed in the context of a building's thermal envelope where thermal bridges result in heat transfer into or out of conditioned space. Thermal bridges in buildings may impact the amount of energy required to heat and cool a space, cause condensation (moisture) within the building envelope, and result in thermal discomfort. In colder climates (such as the United Kingdom), thermal heat bridges can result in additional heat losses and require additional energy to mitigate. There are strategies to reduce or prevent thermal bridging, such as limiting the number of building members that span from unconditioned to conditioned space and applying continuous insulation materials to create thermal breaks .

A building envelope consists of all the outer shell elements that help to maintain a dry and heated/cooled indoor environment. It is what helps to facilitate climate control. The performance of a building envelope can be greatly affected by thermal bridging. Thermal bridging,also referred to as a heat bridge or a cold bridge, occurs in the building envelope when material components transfers heat throughout itself at a higher rate than the other components. This often occurs when there is less insulation, a break in the insulation, or the insulation is being penetrated. In cold climates, this can result in additional heat loss at these points. Thermal bridges can be avoided with a good structural composition as well as insulation of existing thermal bridges. This is extremely important for energy saving and also for the building’s lifespan. Energy Audit
For energy efficiency purposes, it is important to have an energy audit to determine where you home may be losing energy.

What is a Net-zero House Thermal Bridging is a four letter word in house construction. A traditional exterior wall the studding will “thermal bridge” cold into the house, so will traditional windows, sill plates, and on and on. So fighting bridging is a high goal. The house must be sealed, very, very tight. Measured by a “blower door” test. The house is closed up and a sealed fan is installed in a door. The fan sucks the air out of the house. The measurement is the number of Air Changes per hour at a pressure of 50 pascals or XXACH50. The houses we grew up in would be 10ACH50 or more, houses in the past 10 years 7/7ACH50; today’s (2015) code built homes are 3ACH50.

 After you receive your quote and are prepared for the project to begin, the first part of the project will start when a crew comes to your home to remove the old insulation in the attic . The older insulation must be removed for the spray foam to effectively work. The crew will go into the attic and lay down plastic and use a vacuum system to remove the old insulation. The crew then takes the old insulation away to make sure it is disposed of properly. The next day of the project, a crew will come to your home and run a hose up to the work area in the attic. The majority of the second day is spent spraying the foam onto the roof deck or attic floor, depending on the job. A thin layer of foam is also sprayed on the studs of the roof to stop thermal bridging. Thermal bridging, also called a cold bridge or heat bridge, is an area of a building that has a significantly higher heat transfer than the surrounding materials resulting in an overall reduction in thermal insulation of the building. Thermal bridging is most commonly found on the studs of exterior walls, attics, and roof structures. Once everything has been sprayed, the crew cleans up the area so it looks just like it did before the project was started.

Thermal bridging is the movement of heat across an object that is more conductive than the materials around it. The conductive material creates a path of least resistance for heat. Thermal bridging can be a major source of energy loss in homes and buildings, leading to higher utility bills. Thermal Bridging in Homes
A significant thermal bridge can be created in residential home construction by the studs in the wall. American homes have traditionally been built with 2x4 wood studs spaced 16” on center, with fiberglass batt insulation added to the cavity. Although the fiberglass insulation may have an r-value of R-15 or more, it can only be placed in between the wood studs. These studs are more conductive than the fiberglass insulation surrounding them, so although the insulation reduces energy loss through the wall, it does not stop energy loss across the thermal bridge. Nearly 25% of a home’s wall is made of wood studs. Even if you have fiberglass insulation in the cavity, it adds up to one whole wall of the home with zero insulation. As you are paying to make your home comfortable, 25% of your walls are working against you.

 A pilot encountering such conditions should consider immediate exit from the conditions. Ice bridging: Classic pneumatic deicing boot ice bridging occurs when a thin layer of ice is sufficiently plastic to deform to the shape of the inflated deicing boot. This occurs without the thin ice breaking or shedding during ensuing cycling of the deicing boot. As the deformed ice hardens and accretes more ice, the deicing boot becomes ineffective. Ice bridging may occur when enough supercooled water freezes during the inflated deicing boot dwell period. It will keep that shape after the deicing boot deflates and will form a deformed surface that continues to accrete ice and is unaffected by ensuing cycling of the deicing boot. A deicing boot ice bridge may also form when flying into increasingly colder ambient temperature conditions following a mixed-phase icing encounter at near-freezing temperatures. Ice bridging also refers to the ice “caps” or “bridges” between adjacent component surfaces. For example, unprotected leading edge surfaces of an elevator horn and the horizontal stabilizer.

 When uninsulated, they will both have a U‑value of between 0.45W/m 2 K and 0.70W/m 2 K, but this depends on the geometry of the floor and the amount of thermal bridging. In each case the target U-value after installing insulation is between 0.20W/m 2 K and 0.25W/m 2 K (depending on floor geometry). Insulating a solid floor is a lot more trouble and expensive than insulating a timber floor. Typically, the former has a payback of between 8 or 10 years or more, but the payback period for suspended timber floor insulation is between 3 and 5 years. Avoiding thermal bridging
Thermal bridging occurs where a solid building elements continues from the inside to the outside of the structure, conducting heat out or cold in. It severely compromises the value of the work and can lead to cold spots and condensation. Techniques to minimise thermal bridging with insulation around floors
The above diagrams show how to apply insulation around the edges of building elements to prevent thermal bridging. Also consider in each case where the airtightness layer beneath the floor next to the one in the walls around the edges. The airtightness layer prevents unwanted draught infiltration. It can be pictured as a continuous envelope around the building.

 Thermal bridges, and the subsequent damage, can be avoided by several strategies which are best implemented during the design stage, when changes can be easily incorporated. After construction, repairing thermal bridges can be both costly and difficult. THERMAL BRIDGING
A thermal bridge allows heat to “short circuit” insulation. Typically, this occurs when a material of high thermal conductivity, such as steel framing or concrete, penetrates or interrupts a layer of low thermal conductivity material, such as insulation. Thermal bridges can also occur where building elements are joined, such as exposed concrete floor slabs and beams that abut or penetrate the exterior walls of a building. Causes
Thermal bridging is most often caused by improper installation or by material choice/building design. An example of improper installation leading to thermal bridging is gaps in insulation, which allow heat to escape around the insulation and may also allow air leakage. For this reason, insulation materials should be installed without gaps at the floor, ceiling, roof, walls, framing, or between the adjacent insulation materials. Further, insulation materials should be installed so that they remain in position over time. Although thermal bridging is primarily associated with conduction heat transfer (heat flow through solid materials), thermal bridging effects can be magnified by heat and moisture transfer due to air movement, particularly when warm, moist air enters the wall.

Thermal bridges, and the subsequent damage, can be avoided by several strategies which are best implemented during the design stage, when changes can be easily incorporated. After construction, repairing thermal bridges can be both costly and difficult. THERMAL BRIDGING
A thermal bridge allows heat to “short circuit” insulation. Typically, this occurs when a material of high thermal conductivity, such as steel framing or concrete, penetrates or interrupts a layer of low thermal conductivity material, such as insulation. Thermal bridges can also occur where building elements are joined, such as exposed concrete floor slabs and beams that abut or penetrate the exterior walls of a building. Causes
Thermal bridging is most often caused by improper installation or by material choice/building design. An example of improper installation leading to thermal bridging is gaps in insulation, which allow heat to escape around the insulation and may also allow air leakage. For this reason, insulation materials should be installed without gaps at the floor, ceiling, roof, walls, framing, or between the adjacent insulation materials. Further, insulation materials should be installed so that they remain in position over time. Although thermal bridging is primarily associated with conduction heat transfer (heat flow through solid materials), thermal bridging effects can be magnified by heat and moisture transfer due to air movement, particularly when warm, moist air enters the wall.

Building the Pathway to Net Zero Ready
 Examples include how a window is attached to the walls, how a wall meets a balcony, and how walls meet at corners, as shown in Figure 3. The way these building features connect and are designed can also introduce thermal bridging that’s not always easy to recognize. Figure 3. Example building interface details

Thermal bridging from interface details can have numerous effects on building performance. For highly insulated envelopes like those in Passive House projects, thermal bridging can significantly reduce the benefits of superinsulating by allowing heat to flow around the insulation and out of the building, and can also create localized cold spots, increasing the risk of condensation and mould growth around these details. The easiest way to avoid thermal bridging is by making architectural design changes (where possible), such as using self-supported decks and canopies for low-rise buildings or reducing the number of cantilevered balconies and articulating architecture (lots of corners) on larger buildings. This is not always realistic or achievable, and in these cases, special attention needs to be paid to these interfaces.

 Any gab in this thermal envelope is an avenue for heat loss, known as a thermal bridge. Unfortunately it’s relatively common in New Zealand, to leave the perimeter edge of the slab exposed. Have look next time you see any house with a concrete floor. If you can see a strip of plain concrete between the base of the cladding, and the ground, then you’re looking at one end of a very effective thermal bridge that will leak heat. 2.

A thermal bridge is any avenue that unwanted temperatures, hot or cold, are given to come into your home. A thermal break can be as obvious as a crack or hole in the wall. Surprisingly, it can also be a solid material that has high thermal conductivity. Metal easily transfers cold. If you have any kind of unbroken metal that runs from the exterior to the interior, such as a pipe, you have a thermal bridge. Wood can also be a thermal bridge, though not as pronounced as metal since wood is not a good conductor of temperatures.

Thermal bridge at junction. Heat moves from the floor structure through the wall because there is no thermal break. Heat transfer occurs through three mechanisms: convection, radiation, and conduction. A thermal bridge is an example of heat transfer through conduction. The rate of heat transfer depends on the thermal conductivity of the material and the temperature difference experienced on either side of the thermal bridge. When a temperature difference is present, heat flow will follow the path of least resistance through the material with the highest thermal conductivity and lowest thermal resistance; this path is a thermal bridge. Thermal bridging describes a situation in a building where there is a direct connection between the outside and inside through one or more elements that possess a higher thermal conductivity than the rest of the envelope of the building.

 Thermal Bridging
Heat flow deviates from one-dimensional at corners, parapets, intersections between different assemblies, etc. When heat flows at a much higher rate through one part of an assembly than another, the term thermal bridge is used to reflect the fact that the heat has bridged over / around the thermal insulation. Thermal bridges become important when: they cause cold spots within an assembly that might cause performance (e.g., surface condensation), durability or comfort problems
they are either large enough or intense enough (highly conductive) that they affect the total heat loss through the enclosure
Thermal bridging can severely compromise thermal control and comfort in some building types. Heat flow through steel stud walls and metal curtainwalls is dominated by heat flow through the metal components. Failure to break these thermal bridges can reduce the R-value of the insulating components (the insulated glazing unit or batt insulation respectively) by 50 to 80%. Filling the voids in concrete block masonry with insulation is not very effective: adding R-15 insulation to a 12” block with increase the R-value of the wall by about R-2. Wood framed walls are not as badly affected, but reductions of 10 to 20% are common. A separate BSD discusses thermal bridging in more detail.

INTRODUCTION
Thermal bridging occurs when a relatively small area of a wall, floor or roof loses much more heat than the surrounding area. Thermal bridging can occur in any type of building construction. The effects of thermal bridging may include increased heat loss, occupant discomfort, unanticipated expansion/contraction, condensation, freeze-thaw damage, and related moisture and/or mold problems for materials susceptible to moisture. The severity of the thermal bridge is determined by the extent of these effects. Thermal bridges, and the subsequent damage, can be avoided by several strategies which are best implemented during the design stage, when changes can be easily incorporated. After construction, repairing thermal bridges can be both costly and difficult. THERMAL BRIDGING
A thermal bridge allows heat to “short circuit” insulation. Typically, this occurs when a material of high thermal conductivity, such as steel framing or concrete, penetrates or interrupts a layer of low thermal conductivity material, such as insulation. Thermal bridges can also occur where building elements are joined, such as exposed concrete floor slabs and beams that abut or penetrate the exterior walls of a building.

 Thermal Bridging in Construction
Frequently, thermal bridging is used in reference to a building’s thermal envelope, which is a layer of the building enclosure system that resists heat flow between the interior conditioned environment and the exterior unconditioned environment. Heat will transfer through a building’s thermal envelope at different rates depending on the materials present throughout the envelope. Heat transfer will be greater at thermal bridge locations than where insulation exists because there is less thermal resistance. In the winter, when exterior temperature is typically lower than interior temperature, heat flows outward and will flow at greater rates through thermal bridges. At a thermal bridge location, the surface temperature on the inside of the building envelope will be lower than the surrounding area. In the summer, when the exterior temperature is typically higher than the interior temperature, heat flows inward, and at greater rates through thermal bridges. This causes winter heat losses and summer heat gains for conditioned spaces in buildings. Despite insulation requirements specified by various national regulations, thermal bridging in a building's envelope remain a weak spot in the construction industry. Moreover, in many countries building design practices implement partial insulation measurements foreseen by regulations. As a result, thermal losses are greater in practice that is anticipated during the design stage.

 Electrothermal systems pass electric current through resistive parts, usually the leading edges themselves. These systems require substantial electrical power and are generally used on large aircraft, such as the 787. Resistive deicing may also be applied to propeller and helicopter rotor blades. Ice bridging
'Ice bridging' is the theory that activating deicing boots early may lead to a condition where slushy ice is pushed into a hollow shell around the inflated boot, then freezes in place. This shell can then no longer be dislodged by any further operation of the boot. Bridging was described by the aviation writer Ernest Gann in his memoir Fate Is the Hunter . The bridging theory is now disputed. In 2008 the NTSB issued an alert that pilots should, "activate boots as soon as the airplane enters icing conditions". Their claim was that bridging was "extremely rare, if it exists at all" and that there were no instances where it had led to an accident. Unwarranted fear of ice bridging contributed to the fatal crash of Comair Flight 3272 .

Passive building is a set of design principles used to attain a quantifiable and rigorous level of energy efficiency within a specific quantifiable comfort level – or in other words maximizing gains, and minimizing losses. These principles can be applied to any type of structure, from single-family residences, to skyscrapers, to schools, to multi-family apartment buildings.

Conclusion
 No matter which type of insulation is used, Passive House builders must make sure that the product is installed correctly. Technicians using thermographic imaging as shown below, can directly measure the application and performance of insulation. These cameras can readily detect heat loss; therefore they can help identify areas where insulation is insufficient, incomplete, damaged, or settled. Eliminate Thermal Bridges
Heat flows out of a building by the easiest available path – the path of least resistance. It will pass very quickly through an element that has a higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding material, forming what is known as a thermal bridge. Thermal bridges can significantly increase heat loss, which can create areas in or on the walls that are cooler than their surroundings (cold spots). When warm, moist air condenses on a cooler surface, moisture and mold problems can easily arise. In a Passive House, there are few or no thermal bridges, which means negligible heat loss and a less moldy and therefore healthy environment. Passive House designers and builders reduce or eliminate thermal bridges by limiting penetrations, and by using heat transfer-resistant materials.

 It affects sale-ability. It affects home comfort. So it’s a topic worth revisiting. What is Thermal Bridging? Thermal bridging occurs when a more conductive (or poorly insulating) material allows an easy pathway for heat flow across a thermal barrier. A classic example of this is the use of steel studs to bridge an insulated wall. The steel creates a pathway for heat to travel out of the home at a much higher rate than the rest of the wall. It’s often hidden—the most common is wall studs—but, you must keep it in mind when thinking about heat loss (and the heating bills) at your home. Areas in the wall assembly can transfer heat quicker than the insulation around it, like studs, plates, headers, and wall posts. In a wood stud wall with R-20 batts, thermal bridging can bring the effective R-value down as low as R-15.

A classic example of this is the use of steel studs to bridge an insulated wall. The steel creates a pathway for heat to travel out of the home at a much higher rate than the rest of the wall. It’s often hidden—the most common is wall studs—but, you must keep it in mind when thinking about heat loss (and the heating bills) at your home. Areas in the wall assembly can transfer heat quicker than the insulation around it, like studs, plates, headers, and wall posts. In a wood stud wall with R-20 batts, thermal bridging can bring the effective R-value down as low as R-15.

 In all thermographic building inspections, the thermal image interpretation if performed by a human operator, involving a high level of subjectivity and expertise of the operator. Automated analysis approaches, such as Laser scanning technologies can provide thermal imaging on 3 dimensional CAD model surfaces and metric information to thermographic analyses. Surface temperature data in 3D models can identify and measure thermal irregularities of thermal bridges and insulation leaks. Thermal imaging can also be acquired through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), fusing thermal data from multiple cameras and platforms. The UAV uses an infrared camera to generate a thermal field image of recorded temperature values, where every pixel represents radiative energy emitted by the surface of the building. Thermal Bridging in Construction
Frequently, thermal bridging is used in reference to a building’s thermal envelope, which is a layer of the building enclosure system that resists heat flow between the interior conditioned environment and the exterior unconditioned environment. Heat will transfer through a building’s thermal envelope at different rates depending on the materials present throughout the envelope. Heat transfer will be greater at thermal bridge locations than where insulation exists because there is less thermal resistance. In the winter, when exterior temperature is typically lower than interior temperature, heat flows outward and will flow at greater rates through thermal bridges. At a thermal bridge location, the surface temperature on the inside of the building envelope will be lower than the surrounding area.

 Rockwool products therefore tend to use higher densities to achieve the same thermal performance as spun glass. This extra density provides these products with greater strength and more resistance to convection and radiation effects. Even though more material is used for the same thermal resistance, rockwool products compete in applications that require these properties.

Heat flow deviates from one-dimensional at corners, parapets, intersections between different assemblies, etc. When heat flows at a much higher rate through one part of an assembly than another, the term thermal bridge is used to reflect the fact that the heat has bridged over / around the thermal insulation. Thermal bridges become important when: they cause cold spots within an assembly that might cause performance (e.g., surface condensation), durability or comfort problems
they are either large enough or intense enough (highly conductive) that they affect the total heat loss through the enclosure
Thermal bridging can severely compromise thermal control and comfort in some building types. Heat flow through steel stud walls and metal curtainwalls is dominated by heat flow through the metal components.

 Tall beds with high contact times and 100% RH at higher temperatures will form large amounts of deliquescing brine in the lower portion of the bed and slow the process. It is desirable to avoid free water and high inlet temperatures at low pressures to avoid heat effects, such as bridging. Bridging is when adjacent desiccant tablets fuse or join together, which prevents the bed from settling. It is caused by a variety of reasons but mainly it is due to cyclic operating conditions or flooding. By itself, bridging is not a problem but it leads to channeling which will affect performance. Channeling is when the gas tries to find a path of least resistance through the bridged bed and ultimately is not in contact with the unused desiccant bed causing premature breakthrough of moisture occurs. Freezing can occur as calcium chloride hydrates form a dilute solution at low temperature on the surface of the desiccant. As the solution super cools it forms a solution and ice. The problems associated with bridging, channeling, heat effects and freezing are negligible when operating at steady state flow conditions within recommended temperatures and pressures. In applications where the feed temperature and pressure do not permit an outlet dew point low enough to utilize a calcium chloride solid bed dehydrator on its own;

Thermal bridging is most often caused by improper installation or by material choice/building design. An example of improper installation leading to thermal bridging is gaps in insulation, which allow heat to escape around the insulation and may also allow air leakage. For this reason, insulation materials should be installed without gaps at the floor, ceiling, roof, walls, framing, or between the adjacent insulation materials. Further, insulation materials should be installed so that they remain in position over time. Although thermal bridging is primarily associated with conduction heat transfer (heat flow through solid materials), thermal bridging effects can be magnified by heat and moisture transfer due to air movement, particularly when warm, moist air enters the wall. For this reason, buildings with typically high interior humidity levels, such as swimming pools, spas, and cold storage facilities, are particularly susceptible to moisture damage. Proper installation of vapor and air retarders can greatly reduce moisture damage caused by thermal bridges. Concrete masonry construction does not necessarily require separate vapor or air retarders: check local building codes for requirements. Minimizing moisture leakage will also alleviate thermal bridging due to air leakage for two reasons:

 The problem they are describing is called “ghosting” or “thermal bridging.” While this issue is not harmful, it can be a nuisance. If you’ve noticed this unusual staining pattern in your home, it is helpful to understand why ghosting on walls and ceilings is happening and what can be done to correct it. Understanding the problem of ghosting on walls
To visualize thermal bridging, let’s think about a home in the wintertime – say you own a house in Denver, CO. You are inside your cozy warm space cooking, cleaning, breathing, and showering – all of which create humidity inside the home. You might also be burning candles, incense, or wood for a fire. In the winter, the insulation in your house, if it is doing its job, will help keep the cold out and the warm in. Insulation is installed in the stud bays inside the walls and on the floor of the attic. The limiting factor for most insulation is that it does not cover the wood framing of the building, just the empty spaces between the framing. Ghosting happens when mildly damp, warm, and possibly sooty interior air condenses on the sections of walls and ceiling that are colder because part of the wood frame is uninsulated.

 Example: If you hold a metal bucket full of ice, it will quickly draw the heat out of your hands. If you hold a foam bucket full of ice, the heat will stay in your hands. NOTE: Nothing resists conduction better than a vacuum; this is why vacuum insulated mugs work so well. A thermal bridge is an area that has greater thermal conductivity than the materials around it, providing an opportunity for heat to pass through. When you place insulation between your trailer’s frame ribs but don’t do anything to the ribs themselves, the frame then becomes a thermal bridge. Heat can conduct inside the trailer through the exposed frame much more easily than it can through the insulated areas. This thermal bridge reduces the overall effectiveness of your insulation, since heat and cold can easily go around it.

Notes:
 When uninsulated, they will both have a U‑value of between 0.45W/m 2 K and 0.70W/m 2 K, but this depends on the geometry of the floor and the amount of thermal bridging. In each case the target U-value after installing insulation is between 0.20W/m 2 K and 0.25W/m 2 K (depending on floor geometry). Insulating a solid floor is a lot more trouble and expensive than insulating a timber floor. Typically, the former has a payback of between 8 or 10 years or more, but the payback period for suspended timber floor insulation is between 3 and 5 years. Avoiding thermal bridging
Thermal bridging occurs where a solid building elements continues from the inside to the outside of the structure, conducting heat out or cold in. It severely compromises the value of the work and can lead to cold spots and condensation. Techniques to minimise thermal bridging with insulation around floors
The above diagrams show how to apply insulation around the edges of building elements to prevent thermal bridging. Also consider in each case where the airtightness layer beneath the floor next to the one in the walls around the edges. The airtightness layer prevents unwanted draught infiltration. It can be pictured as a continuous envelope around the building.

Thermal bridges, and the subsequent damage, can be avoided by several strategies which are best implemented during the design stage, when changes can be easily incorporated. After construction, repairing thermal bridges can be both costly and difficult. THERMAL BRIDGING
A thermal bridge allows heat to “short circuit” insulation. Typically, this occurs when a material of high thermal conductivity, such as steel framing or concrete, penetrates or interrupts a layer of low thermal conductivity material, such as insulation. Thermal bridges can also occur where building elements are joined, such as exposed concrete floor slabs and beams that abut or penetrate the exterior walls of a building. Causes
Thermal bridging is most often caused by improper installation or by material choice/building design. An example of improper installation leading to thermal bridging is gaps in insulation, which allow heat to escape around the insulation and may also allow air leakage. For this reason, insulation materials should be installed without gaps at the floor, ceiling, roof, walls, framing, or between the adjacent insulation materials. Further, insulation materials should be installed so that they remain in position over time. Although thermal bridging is primarily associated with conduction heat transfer (heat flow through solid materials), thermal bridging effects can be magnified by heat and moisture transfer due to air movement, particularly when warm, moist air enters the wall.

Examples include how a window is attached to the walls, how a wall meets a balcony, and how walls meet at corners, as shown in Figure 3. The way these building features connect and are designed can also introduce thermal bridging that’s not always easy to recognize. Figure 3. Example building interface details
(left) Cantilevered balcony. ( middle) Window sill transition. ( right) Wall corner. (Courtesy of Morrison Hershfield Ltd)
Thermal bridging from interface details can have numerous effects on building performance. For highly insulated envelopes like those in Passive House projects, thermal bridging can significantly reduce the benefits of superinsulating by allowing heat to flow around the insulation and out of the building, and can also create localized cold spots, increasing the risk of condensation and mould growth around these details. The easiest way to avoid thermal bridging is by making architectural design changes (where possible), such as using self-supported decks and canopies for low-rise buildings or reducing the number of cantilevered balconies and articulating architecture (lots of corners) on larger buildings. This is not always realistic or achievable, and in these cases, special attention needs to be paid to these interfaces.

 A thermal bridge is an example of heat transfer through conduction. The rate of heat transfer depends on the thermal conductivity of the material and the temperature difference experienced on either side of the thermal bridge. When a temperature difference is present, heat flow will follow the path of least resistance through the material with the highest thermal conductivity and lowest thermal resistance; this path is a thermal bridge. Thermal bridging describes a situation in a building where there is a direct connection between the outside and inside through one or more elements that possess a higher thermal conductivity than the rest of the envelope of the building. Identifying Thermal Bridges
Surveying buildings for thermal bridges is performed using passive infrared thermography (IRT) according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Infrared Thermography of buildings can allow thermal signatures that indicate heat leaks. IRT detects thermal abnormalities that are linked to the movement of fluids through building elements, highlighting the variations in the thermal properties of the materials that correspondingly cause a major change in temperature. The drop shadow effect, a situation in which the surrounding environment casts a shadow on the facade of the building, can lead to potential accuracy issues of measurements through inconsistent facade sun exposure. An alternative analysis method, Iterative Filtering (IF), can be used to solve this problem.

Cold roof
A cold roof is roof in which the thermal insulation layer is located immediately above or between the ceiling joists meaning that everything above the insulation, such as the rafters, and any roof space, will be colder than the living space below it. When warm, damp air permeates up through the ceiling and reaches the cold roof space, the change in temperature can result in condensation forming. Adequate roof space ventilation must be provided therefore to remove this air. This requirement, and the need for preventative measures to tackle cold bridging, means that warm roofs can be preferable. A warm roof is one in which the insulation layer is laid on top of roof structure (or above the loft or attic space in the case of pitched roofs) so that the roof structure or roof space is closer to the inside temperature and so the risk of condensation is reduced. Particular care must be taken when installing loft insulation, as this can convert a pitched roof from a warm to a cold roof. Ventilation must then be provided to prevent the accumulation of moist air and so condensation, as this can cause the roof structure to deteriorate and ultimately to fail. [ edit]

Passive House | INTUS Windows Passive House Advantages
Passive building is a set of design principles used to attain a quantifiable and rigorous level of energy efficiency within a specific quantifiable comfort level – or in other words maximizing gains, and minimizing losses. These principles can be applied to any type of structure, from single-family residences, to skyscrapers, to schools, to multi-family apartment buildings.

 It will pass very quickly through an element that has a higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding material, forming what is known as a thermal bridge. Thermal bridges can significantly increase heat loss, which can create areas in or on the walls that are cooler than their surroundings (cold spots). When warm, moist air condenses on a cooler surface, moisture and mold problems can easily arise. In a Passive House, there are few or no thermal bridges, which means negligible heat loss and a less moldy and therefore healthy environment. Passive House designers and builders reduce or eliminate thermal bridges by limiting penetrations, and by using heat transfer-resistant materials.

 In the summer, when the exterior temperature is typically higher than the interior temperature, heat flows inward, and at greater rates through thermal bridges. This causes winter heat losses and summer heat gains for conditioned spaces in buildings. Despite insulation requirements specified by various national regulations, thermal bridging in a building's envelope remain a weak spot in the construction industry. Moreover, in many countries building design practices implement partial insulation measurements foreseen by regulations. As a result, thermal losses are greater in practice that is anticipated during the design stage. An assembly such as an exterior wall or insulated ceiling is generally classified by a U-factor, in W/m 2 ·K, that reflects the overall rate of heat transfer per unit area for all the materials within an assembly, not just the insulation layer. Heat transfer via thermal bridges reduces the overall thermal resistance of an assembly, resulting in an increased U-factor. Thermal bridges can occur at several locations within a building envelope; most commonly, they occur at junctions between two or more building elements. Common locations include:

 Depending on the physical makeup of the concrete, the thermal conductivity can be greater than that of brick materials. In addition to heat transfer, if the indoor environment is not adequately vented, thermal bridging may cause the brick material to absorb rainwater and humidity into the wall, which can result in mold growth and deterioration of building envelope material. Curtain Wall
Similar to masonry walls, curtain walls can experience significantly increases U-factors due to thermal bridging. Curtain wall frames are often constructed with highly conductive aluminum, which has a typical thermal conductivity above 200 W/m·K. In comparison, wood framing members are typically between 0.68 and 1.25 W/m·K. The aluminum frame for most curtain wall constructions extends from the exterior of the building through to the interior, creating thermal bridges. Impacts of Thermal Bridging
Thermal bridging can result in increased energy required to heat or cool a conditioned space due to winter heat loss and summer heat gain. At interior locations near thermal bridges, occupants may experience thermal discomfort due to the difference in temperature. Additionally, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor space is large and there is warm and humid air indoors, such as the conditions experienced in the winter, there is a risk of condensation in the building envelope due to the cooler temperature on the interior surface at thermal bridge locations. Condensation can ultimately result in mold growth with consequent poor indoor air quality and insulation degradation, reducing the insulation performance and causing insulation to perform inconsistently throughout the thermal envelope
Design Methods to Reduce Thermal Bridges
There are several methods that have been proven to reduce or eliminate thermal bridging depending on the cause, location, and the construction type. The objective of these methods is to either create a thermal break where a building component would span from exterior to interior otherwise, or to reduce the number of building components spanning from exterior to interior. These strategies include:

What is a Net-zero House The idea is a continuous flow of insulation surrounding the house.

The sides of the concrete slab, also referred to as the perimeter wall, is often forgotten or not considered at all with respect to the thermal envelope. Remember that the thermal envelope is the boundary between the inside conditioned space, and the outside. Any gab in this thermal envelope is an avenue for heat loss, known as a thermal bridge. Unfortunately it’s relatively common in New Zealand, to leave the perimeter edge of the slab exposed. Have look next time you see any house with a concrete floor. If you can see a strip of plain concrete between the base of the cladding, and the ground, then you’re looking at one end of a very effective thermal bridge that will leak heat. 2.

How can you manipulate heat conduction?
Convection
Kate Moore
 Thermal bridging is when a conductive material transfers heat through a less conductive material. An example of this is attaching insulation to the walls of your van. If you attach a layer of insulation to the walls by running a bolt through to the metal ribbing of your vehicle, heat from outside can transfer through the metal bolt to the inside. This is because both the metal bolt and metal ribbing are good heat conductors. Keep this in mind when laying out your insulation plan. Read our posts on insulating a van for cold weather, and insulating a van for hot weather to help you decide which materials to use. Convection
Convection is when heat is transferred through natural movement of liquids and gasses. This is due to liquids and gasses being different densities and temperatures. In a nutshell, hot air is less dense than cold air so it rises. In cold environments, heat can be lost through the roof of a van if it is not insulated well because hot air rises.

Cold is the presence of low temperature, especially in the atmosphere. In common usage, cold is often a subjective perception. A lower bound to temperature is absolute zero, defined as 0.00 K on the Kelvin scale, an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. This corresponds to −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale, −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale, and 0.00 °R on the Rankine scale . Since temperature relates to the thermal energy held by an object or a sample of matter, which is the kinetic energy of the random motion of the particle constituents of matter, an object will have less thermal energy when it is colder and more when it is hotter. If it were possible to cool a system to absolute zero, all motion of the particles in a sample of matter would cease and they would be at complete rest in this classical sense. The object would be described as having zero thermal energy. Microscopically in the description of quantum mechanics, however, matter still has zero-point energy even at absolute zero, because of the uncertainty principle .

 Causes
Thermal bridging is most often caused by improper installation or by material choice/building design. An example of improper installation leading to thermal bridging is gaps in insulation, which allow heat to escape around the insulation and may also allow air leakage. For this reason, insulation materials should be installed without gaps at the floor, ceiling, roof, walls, framing, or between the adjacent insulation materials. Further, insulation materials should be installed so that they remain in position over time. Although thermal bridging is primarily associated with conduction heat transfer (heat flow through solid materials), thermal bridging effects can be magnified by heat and moisture transfer due to air movement, particularly when warm, moist air enters the wall. For this reason, buildings with typically high interior humidity levels, such as swimming pools, spas, and cold storage facilities, are particularly susceptible to moisture damage. Proper installation of vapor and air retarders can greatly reduce moisture damage caused by thermal bridges. Concrete masonry construction does not necessarily require separate vapor or air retarders: check local building codes for requirements. Minimizing moisture leakage will also alleviate thermal bridging due to air leakage for two reasons:

 The first is that a bridge is exposed from below and above, unlike a roadway. Roads don't freeze over as quickly because they can take advantage of insulation and warmth from the soil below. Bridges, on the other hand, are beset with cold temperatures from all sides, which can cause them to ice over quickly. Bridges also freeze rapidly because many of them are located over cold spots, like frozen rivers or deep ravines. Unlike roads, bridges are exposed to cold temperatures from all sides, which cause them to freeze over faster. The third reason that bridges freeze before roads is their construction. The materials used in the core of a bridge are excellent heat conductors. As a result, they draw heat out from the inside of the bridge, transferring it to the surface where it is quickly lost when ambient temperatures are very cold. Bridges often quickly reach the general air temperature, so when the thermometer reads 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), the bridge will freeze.

The ice bridge on the St. Lawrence river between Québec and Lévis, Canada, in 1892
Ice bridge is sometimes used as a synonym for ice road. An ice bridge is a frozen natural structure formed over seas, bays, rivers or lake surfaces. They facilitate migration of animals or people over a water body that was previously uncrossable by terrestrial animals, including humans. The most significant ice bridges are formed by glaciation, spanning distances of many miles over sometimes relatively deep water bodies. An example of such a major ice bridge was that connecting the island of Öland with mainland Sweden approximately 9000 BC. This bridge reached its maximum utility when the glacier was in retreat, forming a low-lying frozen bridge. The Öland ice bridge allowed the first human migration to the island of Öland, which is most readily documented by archaeological studies of the Alby People. In Jules Verne 's 1873 novel The Fur Country, a group of fur trappers establishes a fort on what they think is stable ground, only to find later on that is merely an iceberg temporarily attached by an ice bridge to the mainland.

 The road is only losing heat from its surface. Even while the temperature on the road surface is dropping, the heat underneath the road keeps it warm enough to prevent icing as temperatures in the atmosphere drop below freezing. Bridges have no way to trap any heat, so they will continually lose heat and freeze shortly after temperatures in the atmosphere hit the freezing point. Most bridges today are built with steel and concrete, both of which are good heat conductors. Because these materials conduct heat, any heat that the bridge has moves through the bridge to the surface where the heat is lost through the air flow around it. Roads are mostly made from asphalt, which is a poor conductor of heat, and that lessens the rate of heat loss from the road. The bottom line is that a bridge will follow the air temperature very closely. If the air temperature falls below freezing, a bridge's surface will fall below freezing very quickly. Rain or snow, therefore, will freeze and stick to the bridge. Advertisement
The Oregon State Department of Transportation advises motorists to slow down when approaching bridges and overpasses while traveling in cold weather.

Cold joints may be reinforced by inserting metal reinforcing bars, or rebar. A cold joint is an undesirable discontinuity between layers of concrete that occurs when one layer of concrete is allowed to harden before the rest of the concrete is poured in what is meant to be a single, solid mass. The discontinuity occurs between the layers due to the inability of the freshly poured, wet concrete to intermix with and bind properly to the hardened concrete. Such a discontinuity is often the result of logistical issues such as a contractor’s work schedule or an unexpected material shortage. A cold joint is when the bottom layer of concrete dries before the rest of the concrete is poured on top of it. Problems associated with cold joints range from the relatively minor to the very serious. At the less serious end of the spectrum, a cold joint may result in a visually unappealing discontinuity that is visible on the surface once the concrete has hardened.

 At interior locations near thermal bridges, occupants may experience thermal discomfort due to the difference in temperature. Additionally, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor space is large and there is warm and humid air indoors, such as the conditions experienced in the winter, there is a risk of condensation in the building envelope due to the cooler temperature on the interior surface at thermal bridge locations. Condensation can ultimately result in mold growth with consequent poor indoor air quality and insulation degradation, reducing the insulation performance and causing insulation to perform inconsistently throughout the thermal envelope
Design Methods to Reduce Thermal Bridges
There are several methods that have been proven to reduce or eliminate thermal bridging depending on the cause, location, and the construction type. The objective of these methods is to either create a thermal break where a building component would span from exterior to interior otherwise, or to reduce the number of building components spanning from exterior to interior. These strategies include: A continuous thermal insulation layer in the thermal envelope, such as with rigid foam board insulation
Lapping of insulation where direct continuity is not possible

A downward-growing hollow tube of ice enclosing a plume of descending brine that is formed beneath developing sea ice
A brinicle ( brine icicle, also known as ice stalactite) is a downward-growing hollow tube of ice enclosing a plume of descending brine that is formed beneath developing sea ice . As seawater freezes in the polar ocean salt brine concentrates are expelled from the sea ice, creating a downward flow of dense, extremely cold, and saline water, with a lower freezing point than the surrounding water. When this plume comes into contact with the neighboring ocean water, its extremely cold temperature causes ice to instantly form around the flow. This creates a hollow stalactite, or icicle, referred to as a brinicle. Contents

Formation
The formation of ice from salt water produces marked changes in the composition of the nearby unfrozen water. When water freezes, most impurities are excluded from the water crystals; even ice from seawater is relatively fresh compared to the seawater from which it is formed. As a result of forcing the impurities out (such as salt and other ions) sea ice is very porous and spongelike, quite different from the solid ice produced when fresh water freezes. As the seawater freezes and salt is forced out of the pure ice crystal lattice, the surrounding water becomes more saline as concentrated brine leaks out. This lowers its freezing temperature and increases its density.

 An assembly such as an exterior wall or insulated ceiling is generally classified by a U-factor, in W/m 2 ·K, that reflects the overall rate of heat transfer per unit area for all the materials within an assembly, not just the insulation layer. Heat transfer via thermal bridges reduces the overall thermal resistance of an assembly, resulting in an increased U-factor. Thermal bridges can occur at several locations within a building envelope; most commonly, they occur at junctions between two or more building elements. Common locations include: Floor-to-wall or balcony-to-wall junctions, including slab-on-grade and concrete balconies or outdoor patios that extend the floor slab through the building envelope
Roof/Ceiling-to-wall junctions, especially where full ceiling insulation depths may not be achieved
Window-to-wall junctions
Door-to-wall junctions
Wall-to-wall junctions
Wood, steel or concrete members, such as studs and joists, incorporated in exterior wall, ceiling, or roof construction
Recessed luminaries that penetrate insulated ceilings
Windows and doors, especially frames components
Areas with gaps in or poorly installed insulation
Metal ties in masonry cavity walls
Structural elements remain a weak point in construction, commonly leading to thermal bridges that result in high heat loss and low surface temperatures in a room. Masonry Buildings
While thermal bridges exist in various types of building enclosures, masonry walls experience significantly increased U-factors caused by thermal bridges. Comparing thermal conductivities between different building materials allows for assessment of performance relative to other design options. Brick materials, which are usually used for facade enclosures, typically have higher thermal conductivities than timber, depending on the brick density and wood type. Concrete, which may be used for floors and edge beams in masonry buildings are common thermal bridges, especially at the corners.

 The Arctic Ocean has historically ranged from roughly 14-16 million square kilometers in late winter to roughly 7 million square kilometers each September. The annual increase of ice plays a major role in the movement of ocean circulation and deep water formation. The density of the water below the newly formed ice increases due to the brine rejection. Saltier water can also become colder without freezing. The dense waters that form in the Arctic are called North Atlantic Deep Waters (NADW), while the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) forms in the southern hemisphere. These two areas of brine rejection play an important role in the thermohaline circulation of all of earth's oceans. Brinicles
As sea ice freezes, it rejects increasingly salty water, which drains through narrow brine channels that thread through the ice. The brine flowing through the brine channels and out of the bottom of the ice is very cold and salty, so it sinks in the warmer, fresher seawater under the ice, forming a plume. The plume is colder than the freezing point of sea water under the ice, so the seawater can freeze where it touches the plume. Ice freezing around the edges of the plume gradually builds a hollow icicle-like tube, called a brinicle.

 Cross-section of cold welding – before and after the weld
Cold welding or contact welding is a solid -state welding process in which joining takes place without fusion or heating at the interface of the two parts to be welded. Unlike in the fusion-welding processes, no liquid or molten phase is present in the joint. Cold welding was first recognized as a general materials phenomenon in the 1940s. It was then discovered that two clean, flat surfaces of similar metal would strongly adhere if brought into contact while in a vacuum. Newly discovered micro- and nano-scale cold welding has shown potential in nanofabrication processes. The reason for this unexpected behavior is that when the atoms in contact are all of the same kind, there is no way for the atoms to "know" that they are in different pieces of copper. When there are other atoms, in the oxides and greases and more complicated thin surface layers of contaminants in between, the atoms "know" when they are not on the same part. — Richard Feynman, The Feynman Lectures, 12–2 Friction

Since temperature relates to the thermal energy held by an object or a sample of matter, which is the kinetic energy of the random motion of the particle constituents of matter, an object will have less thermal energy when it is colder and more when it is hotter. If it were possible to cool a system to absolute zero, all motion of the particles in a sample of matter would cease and they would be at complete rest in this classical sense. The object would be described as having zero thermal energy. Microscopically in the description of quantum mechanics, however, matter still has zero-point energy even at absolute zero, because of the uncertainty principle . Contents

Main article: Refrigeration
Cooling refers to the process of becoming cold, or lowering in temperature. This could be accomplished by removing heat from a system, or exposing the system to an environment with a lower temperature. Coolants are fluids used to cool objects, prevent freezing and prevent erosion in machines. Air cooling is the process of cooling an object by exposing it to air.

 It had caused several pileups during its 40-year life. On December 19, 1985, the temperature reached −34 °C (−29 °F). Cars crossing the bridge experienced black ice and there was a massive pile up of crashed vehicles on the bridge on the northbound side. In February and in December 1996, the bridge was identified as the single most treacherous cold-weather spot in the local freeway system, because of the almost frictionless thin layer of black ice that regularly formed when temperatures dropped below freezing. The bridge's proximity to Saint Anthony Falls contributed significantly to the icing problem and the site was noted for frequent spinouts and collisions. By January 1999, Mn/DOT began testing magnesium chloride solutions and a mixture of magnesium chloride and a corn-processing byproduct to see whether either would reduce the black ice that appeared on the bridge during the winter months.

 this is why vacuum insulated mugs work so well. A thermal bridge is an area that has greater thermal conductivity than the materials around it, providing an opportunity for heat to pass through. When you place insulation between your trailer’s frame ribs but don’t do anything to the ribs themselves, the frame then becomes a thermal bridge. Heat can conduct inside the trailer through the exposed frame much more easily than it can through the insulated areas. This thermal bridge reduces the overall effectiveness of your insulation, since heat and cold can easily go around it. Creating a thermal break with 1/4″ XPS insulation
Insulating on the top of your trailer’s hollow frame ribs can reduce the effect of thermal bridging. These thermal breaks, are basically non-conductive materials (i.e. insulation) placed in the pathway of a thermal bridge to block the flow of heat. NOTE: HVAC tape is not insulation. Now that we understand how basic heat transfer works, let’s take a look at the insulation materials we can use to slow it down.

Three reasons bridges freeze fast

2- Location matters
One of the other reasons a bridge is so quick to freeze is because of its location. Yes, they are exposed on all sides, but it’s what’s underneath that counts. Bridges cover rivers, creeks, and bodies of water in many cases. Water freezes quickly, creating cold spots. These cold spots make the bridge more prone to freeze than a roadway that doesn’t have these cold areas underneath them. Photo by Zachary Keimig
Zachary Keimig
3- C onstruction Means Everything
The last reason a bridge freezes before a roadway is because of its construction. These structures are made of metal, and metal is known as a heat conductor. There is heat within the bridge, but it’s quickly transferred to the surface where it meets the cold temperatures. If the temperature outside is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below, then the air temperature will cause the warm air to freeze quickly, which makes ice spots on the structure. Roadways are made of asphalt and concrete, and they don’t conduct heat well.

Cold joints may be reinforced by inserting metal reinforcing bars, or rebar. A cold joint is an undesirable discontinuity between layers of concrete that occurs when one layer of concrete is allowed to harden before the rest of the concrete is poured in what is meant to be a single, solid mass.

Icing Terms Commonly Used in Aviation
 Ice bridging may occur when enough supercooled water freezes during the inflated deicing boot dwell period. It will keep that shape after the deicing boot deflates and will form a deformed surface that continues to accrete ice and is unaffected by ensuing cycling of the deicing boot. A deicing boot ice bridge may also form when flying into increasingly colder ambient temperature conditions following a mixed-phase icing encounter at near-freezing temperatures. Ice bridging also refers to the ice “caps” or “bridges” between adjacent component surfaces. For example, unprotected leading edge surfaces of an elevator horn and the horizontal stabilizer. Light icing: A descriptor used operationally by flight crews when they report encountered icing intensity to traffic control. The rate of ice buildup requires occasional cycling of manual deicing systems to minimize ice accretions on the airframe. A representative accretion rate for reference purposes is 1/4 inch to one inch (0.6 to 2.5 cm) per hour on the outer wing. The pilot should consider exiting the condition.

Watch your local weather
 The first, and most common reason, is because they have nothing underneath them, shielding them from the frigid temperatures. Since a bridge is open on the underside, it has no protection from the wind and extreme weather. A roadway is built upon the ground, which acts as an insulator during inclement weather. While it may be cold outside, there is warmth deep within the ground that acts as padding. Since bridges are open on all sites, they will ice over quickly. Photo by Christopher Lee

Eliminate Ghosting in 4 Steps
Understanding Ghosting
Understanding the problem
Understanding the repair
1. Eliminate indoor air particulate:
2. Monitor your relative humidity inside the house:
3. Re-paint effected surfaces
4. Improve insulation where you can
Important note
 If you are out looking at houses to buy, you may very well see this. Black stains – or ghosting -on ceiling indicate heat loss and a poorly insulated ceiling
Understanding the problem
To visualize thermal bridging and the resulting ghosting patterns that emerge, let’s think about a house in the winter time. You are inside your cozy warm home; you are cooking and cleaning and breathing and showering and this creates humidity inside the home. You might also be having a wood fire or burning candles or incense; the stage is set for ghosting. Now let’s look at what happens. In the winter, the insulation in your house, if it is doing its job, will help keep the cold out and the warm in. Insulation is installed in the stud bays inside the walls and on the floor of the attic. The limiting factor for insulation in traditional code-built applications is that the insulation does not cover the wood framing of the building, just the empty spaces between the framing.

Heat Transfer and Insulation: What You Should Know for Your Van Conversion
Radiation is heat transferred through air or a vacuum – think of the heat radiating from the sun, passing through the atmosphere, and warming your skin.
Conduction is heat transferred through solid surfaces – think of when you touch a hot cast iron skillet and burn your hand.
Convection is how heat moves through a liquid or gas (like the air in your van) – think of warmer air rising to the ceiling while cooler air sinks to the floor.
Insulation slows the rate of heat transfer into and out of your van, which makes it easier to maintain the temperature you want.
A thermal bridge is an area that has greater thermal conductivity than the materials around it, providing an avenue for heat to pass through.

 Every insulation material has an R-value, which is a measure of the material’s Resistance to heat transfer. The higher the R-value, the better it’s able to resist heat transfer via conduction. A thermal bridge is an area that has greater thermal conductivity than the materials around it, providing an avenue for heat to pass through. When you stuff insulation between your van’s frame ribs but don’t do anything to the ribs themselves, the frame then becomes a thermal bridge. Heat can conduct inside your van through the exposed frame much more easily than it can through the insulated areas. This thermal bridge reduces the overall effectiveness of your insulation, since heat can go around it to a certain extent. Some insulation is always better than no insulation, and an insulated van with some thermal bridging is much more resistant to heat transfer than a van with no insulation at all. Insulating inside your van’s hollow frame can help reduce the effect of thermal bridging. If you spend a lot of time in very cold weather, it might be a good idea to put up thermal breaks, which are basically non-conductive materials (i.e. insulation) placed in the pathway of a thermal bridge to block the flow of heat. If you put up additional insulation on top of your van’s ribs, that would be a thermal break.

The I-35W Mississippi River bridge seen from below in 2006
The I-35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was well known for its black ice before it collapsed in 2007 into the Mississippi River. It had caused several pileups during its 40-year life. On December 19, 1985, the temperature reached −34 °C (−29 °F). Cars crossing the bridge experienced black ice and there was a massive pile up of crashed vehicles on the bridge on the northbound side. In February and in December 1996, the bridge was identified as the single most treacherous cold-weather spot in the local freeway system, because of the almost frictionless thin layer of black ice that regularly formed when temperatures dropped below freezing. The bridge's proximity to Saint Anthony Falls contributed significantly to the icing problem and the site was noted for frequent spinouts and collisions.

1. Eliminate indoor air particulate:
2. Monitor your relative humidity inside the house:
3. Re-paint effected surfaces
4. Improve insulation where you can
Important note
 the stains seemed to be following the framing of the house. Even over the phone I recognized the symptoms. The good news for my caller is that the stains are not mold and they are unlikely to cause an indoor air quality problem for the occupants or a structural hazard to the building. The problem she was describing is called ghosting, or thermal bridging, and though innocuous it can be a nuisance. It is helpful to understand why this happens and what can be done to correct it. If you are out looking at houses to buy, you may very well see this. Black stains – or ghosting -on ceiling indicate heat loss and a poorly insulated ceiling
Understanding the problem
To visualize thermal bridging and the resulting ghosting patterns that emerge, let’s think about a house in the winter time. You are inside your cozy warm home; you are cooking and cleaning and breathing and showering and this creates humidity inside the home. You might also be having a wood fire or burning candles or incense;

Thermal bridging reduces the overall performance of a home. Thermal breaks are the answer to this problem. Simple in theory, but thermal bridges have been challenging high-performance home builders for decades. It affects HERS ratings. It impacts continuous insulation. It affects sale-ability. It affects home comfort. So it’s a topic worth revisiting. What is Thermal Bridging? Thermal bridging occurs when a more conductive (or poorly insulating) material allows an easy pathway for heat flow across a thermal barrier.

How to Prevent A Thermal Bridge
Common Ways to Reduce Thermal Bridging in Construction
 Energy prices tend to go up, so an investment in using less energy is an investment that pays bigger dividends every year. Another issue with thermal bridges in insulated walls is moisture accumulation. You can see it inside the house as dark stains that telegraph framing members. It happens on ceilings and in closets where a lot of framing gets mashed together. This is often called ‘ ghosting ‘ because the moist cool air attracts dust and forms dark lines on the ceiling which ‘ghost’ the joists. How to Prevent A Thermal Bridge
So, if thermal bridging acts as a pathway for heat to escape the building more rapidly, a thermal break, or thermal barrier, helps block that pathway. Scientifically speaking, it’s an “element of low thermal conductivity placed in an assembly to reduce or prevent the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials.” For example, insulated glazing is the thermal break for windows. The air or gas between the panes stops the conductive thermal energy from passing through the glass. In metal and wood-framed buildings, wrapping a building’s envelope with a layer of continuous insulation cuts off thermal bridging.

Sea Freeze of America
Is a Cold Plate System Right For You? Understanding Cold Plate Systems
What is a Cold Plate refrigeration system? A cold plate (also called a holdover plate) is a large tank inside your refrigerator or freezer box filled with a solution that freezes and melts out at a temperature lower than water (20 degrees for a refrigerator, -10 degrees for a freezer). Refrigerant tubing is coiled inside the tank so that the as the refrigerator runs the tubing is cold enough to freeze the solution solid. After the solution is frozen solid, the compressor shuts off and the cold plate acts as a large ice block, slowly melting back to a liquid as it removes heat from the box. Depending on the size of the cold plate and the heat load of the box, the cold plate can provide cooling for 24 hours or more. Basically it is a thermal battery, storing cold when excess power is available, and providing cooling when power is not available. To be able to freeze the cold plate solid in a few hours, a large capacity high amp draw 120V compressor is usually used (although we do offer a high capacity 12V compressor option with variable speed, typically for refrigerator cold plates only). This differs from a standard evaporator type system, where a low amp draw DC compressor cycles on and off several times an hour, pulling power from your batteries to maintain box temperatures. Example:

Reducing thermal bridging saves on energy costs by minimizing the amount of heat transferred through the building envelope -- the floor, walls, roof, doors and windows separating the interior and exterior environments. A thermal bridge occurs in areas that are poorly insulated, such as when fiberglass batting insulation between wall studs is compressed or wet, or when more thermally conductive construction materials -- wood, concrete, glass and metal -- create a pathway for heat to travel through a wall. Increased Stud Spacing
Known as “advanced framing” by industry professionals, wall framing techniques using 2-by-6 studs with increased spacing between them can maximize insulation coverage and reduce thermal bridging while maintaining structural integrity. In most code jurisdictions, you can space 2-by-6 wall studs every 24 inches instead of the standard 16-inch spacing used for 2-by-4 studs. This reduces the amount of wood in the wall, allowing for more insulation and less overall heat loss from the building. Using advanced framing methods also saves money and resources by reducing the amount of lumber needed to build homes. Two-Stud Corners
Traditionally framed walls use three studs at the outside corner where two walls meet, whereas advanced framing practices include two-stud corners to reduce thermal bridging. Insulation performs at least three times better than wood, according to the Building Science Corporation, so using less wood at the corner avoids unnecessary cold spots in walls. The third stud at outside corners is often only needed to support drywall, but you can attach drywall on two-stud corners by first installing drywall clips -- small metal or plastic tabs that attach to a stud to help support drywall at a corner.

Cold Joints
By Concrete Construction Staff
What is meant by the common term 'cold joint?" A cold joint is a plane of weakness in concrete caused by an interruption or delay in the concreting operations. It occurs when the first batch of concrete has begun to set before the next batch is added, so that the two batches do not intermix. Sometimes cold joints occur because of emergency interruptions and delays and sometimes because of the work stoppage at the end of the day, but they can 'also occur from poor consolidation. To prevent cold joints in walls, beams and other structural components it is necessary to place concrete in layers about 18 inches deep and intermix each layer with the previous one by using a vibrator. Placement of concrete should begin in the corners and work toward the center. When slabs are placed the concrete should be placed against the preceding batch and not dumped in an individual pile. On sloping grades the work should proceed uphill. In hot weather a retarding admixture may be needed to slow the setting time. About the Author

5 Common Solder Mistakes and How to Resolve Them | EPTAC 5 Common Solder Mistakes and How to Resolve Them

About EPTAC
 Cold Solder Joint
A cold solder joint occurs when the solder does not melt completely. A result of insufficient heat, cold joints are often characterized by being rigid, rough, and uneven in appearance. This solder mistake creates an unreliable joint that is highly susceptible to cracking and failure. Similar to disturbed joints, this mistake can be remedied by reheating the joint until the solder flows again. To prevent this error in the future, always ensure that the solder iron has been properly preheated and is operating with the appropriate power. 5. Solder Bridge
A solder bridge occurs when two separate joints melt together as a result of applying excessive solder. The subsequent bridge creates an unplanned connection, directly affecting the overall functionality of the board. This issue can be resolved by removing the excess solder between the joints with a hot iron tip or solder wick. To prevent this error going forward, only use enough solder to create an acceptable joint, as the excess alloy can lead to bridging and other deficiencies.

Calcium Chloride Deliquescent Desiccant and Solid Bed Natural Gas Dehydration - Van Air Systems Calcium Chloride Deliquescent Desiccant and Solid Bed Natural Gas Dehydration
Calcium Chloride Deliquescent Desiccant and Solid Bed Natural Gas Dehydration
Posted on June 26, 2013 by Dale Oesterling
 When possible it is desirable to size the bed to permit convenient recharging times. A typical calcium chloride solid bed dehydrator will operate with saturated inlet gas temperatures ranging from 45 °F to 70 °F and provide an equilibrium dew point suppression between 20 °F and 27 °F respectively at a fixed inlet pressure. Higher inlet pressures will result in lower water content measured in lbs. H20/MMSCF gas. Low temperature gas < 45 °F tend to smear the bed with H2O forming a tetrahydrate or hexahydrate brine that cools forming a shell on the desiccants surface speeding the process. Tall beds with high contact times and 100% RH at higher temperatures will form large amounts of deliquescing brine in the lower portion of the bed and slow the process. It is desirable to avoid free water and high inlet temperatures at low pressures to avoid heat effects, such as bridging. Bridging is when adjacent desiccant tablets fuse or join together, which prevents the bed from settling. It is caused by a variety of reasons but mainly it is due to cyclic operating conditions or flooding. By itself, bridging is not a problem but it leads to channeling which will affect performance.

Structural elements remain a weak point in construction, commonly leading to thermal bridges that result in high heat loss and low surface temperatures in a room. Masonry Buildings
While thermal bridges exist in various types of building enclosures, masonry walls experience significantly increased U-factors caused by thermal bridges. Comparing thermal conductivities between different building materials allows for assessment of performance relative to other design options. Brick materials, which are usually used for facade enclosures, typically have higher thermal conductivities than timber, depending on the brick density and wood type. Concrete, which may be used for floors and edge beams in masonry buildings are common thermal bridges, especially at the corners. Depending on the physical makeup of the concrete, the thermal conductivity can be greater than that of brick materials. In addition to heat transfer, if the indoor environment is not adequately vented, thermal bridging may cause the brick material to absorb rainwater and humidity into the wall, which can result in mold growth and deterioration of building envelope material. Curtain Wall
Similar to masonry walls, curtain walls can experience significantly increases U-factors due to thermal bridging. Curtain wall frames are often constructed with highly conductive aluminum, which has a typical thermal conductivity above 200 W/m·K. In comparison, wood framing members are typically between 0.68 and 1.25 W/m·K. The aluminum frame for most curtain wall constructions extends from the exterior of the building through to the interior, creating thermal bridges. Impacts of Thermal Bridging
Thermal bridging can result in increased energy required to heat or cool a conditioned space due to winter heat loss and summer heat gain.

Why Do Bridges Freeze Before Roads?

Try It Out
 First, cold air surrounds the surface of a bridge from above and below. This means that bridges lose heat from both sides. Bridges have no way to trap heat, so they will ice rapidly as soon as the temperature decreases to the freezing point. Roads, on the other hand, only lose heat from their surface. The ground below roads helps to trap in heat and keep roads from getting icy unless the temperature drops several degrees below freezing. Another reason bridges freeze before roads is because they're usually made of steel and concrete. Both steel and concrete conduct heat very well. Any heat a bridge manages to trap will be transferred to its surface quickly, where it will be lost to the air around it. Roads are made of asphalt, which does not conduct heat very well. The heat trapped within and below a road will tend to stay there longer, lengthening the time it takes a road to freeze.

A cold finger is a piece of laboratory equipment that is used to generate a localized cold surface. It is named for its resemblance to a finger and is a type of cold trap. The device usually consists of a chamber that a coolant fluid (cold tap water, or perhaps something colder) can enter and leave. Another version involves filling the device with a cold material (examples: ice, dry ice or a mixture such as dry ice/ acetone or ice/water). Typically a cold finger is used in a sublimation apparatus, or can be used as a compact version of a condenser in either reflux reaction or distillation apparatus. Many commercially available rotary evaporators can be purchased with a cold finger in place of a Dimroth condenser, for example.

 Just as hot air from a fire rises as a plume, this cold, dense water sinks as a plume. Its outer edges begin accumulating a layer of ice as the surrounding water, cooled by this jet to below its freezing point, ices up. A brinicle has now been formed, resembling an inverted "chimney" of ice enclosing a downward flow of this supercooled, supersaline water. When the brinicle becomes thick enough, it becomes self-sustaining. As ice accumulates around the down-flowing cold jet, it forms an insulating layer that prevents the cold, saline water from diffusing and warming. As a result, the ice jacket surrounding the jet grows downward with the flow. The inner wall temperature of the stalactite remains on the salinity-determined freezing curve, so as the stalactite grows and the temperature deficit of the brine goes into the growth of ice, the inner wall melts to dilute and cool the adjacent brine back to its freezing point. It is like an icicle turned inside-out; rather than cold air freezing liquid water into layers, down-rushing cold water is freezing the surrounding water, enabling it to descend even deeper. As it does, it creates more ice, and the brinicle grows longer.

Published: October 24, 2013 | Updated: November 5, 2019
Definition - What does Cold Cracking mean? Cold cracking is a welding discontinuity or welding defect, depending on the specification upon which the weld is being evaluated. Cold cracking causes sharp edged, narrow crevices to form intermittently or completely throughout the weld and weld heat-affected zone. Although it depends on the application, cold cracking will usually lead to complete weld failure. Cold cracking is also called hydrogen-induced cracking or simply hydrogen cracking because hydrogen trapped in the weld and heat-affected zone is responsible for this type of cracking. This occurs when steel is rapidly cooled and allowed to form martensite. Due to the rapid cooling, hydrogen atoms trapped inside of the heat-affected zone join together and create an internal stress on the weldment.

What is a Brinicle?
Are Brinicles Dangerous?
Where do Brinicles Form?
Recording of a Brinicle Formation
 Since this brine is denser and heavier than the surrounding sea water, it pools and migrates through cracks in the the floating sea ice. When it reaches the less concentrated water below, it begins to sink. As the brine is also colder than the water through which it is passing, the sea water freezes on contact and crystals of ice form around it. When these ice crystals form a tube around a descending column of brine, a brinicle is formed. The word brinicle is a contraction of “brine icicle.” They are also called “sea stalactites” due to their resemblance to this common cave structure. Brinicles, however, are not hard like rock. The crystals are delicate and can be broken by the slightest touch. When the brinicle reaches the sea floor, the cold brine expands outward across the seabed. A web of ice crystals may form along this progression, resembling a river of ice.

 Water moves from high to low concentrations. Because the brine possesses a lower concentration of water, it therefore attracts the surrounding water. Due to the cold temperature of the brine, the newly attracted water freezes. If the brine channels are relatively evenly distributed, the ice pack grows downward evenly. However, if brine channels are concentrated in one small area, the downward flow of the cold brine (now so salt-rich that it cannot freeze at its normal freezing point) begins to interact with unfrozen seawater as a flow. Just as hot air from a fire rises as a plume, this cold, dense water sinks as a plume. Its outer edges begin accumulating a layer of ice as the surrounding water, cooled by this jet to below its freezing point, ices up. A brinicle has now been formed, resembling an inverted "chimney" of ice enclosing a downward flow of this supercooled, supersaline water.

 Cold air damming
When warm air ahead of an oncoming storm system overrides cool air trapped east of a mountain range, cloudiness and precipitation can occur for prolonged periods of time
Blocking of atmospheric systems near the surface of the Earth occurs when a well-established poleward high pressure system lies near or within the path of the advancing storm system. The thicker the cold air mass is, the more effectively it can block an invading milder air mass. The depth of the cold air mass is normally shallower than the mountain barrier which created the cold air damming, or CAD. Some events across the Intermountain West can last for ten days. Pollutants and smoke can remain suspended within the stable air mass of a cold air dam. Midlatitude cold waves
Further information: Cold wave
In the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, areas on the eastern side of blocking anticyclones or under the influence of anomalous flows from colder continental interiors related to blocks experience severe winters, a phenomenon which has been known since the discovery of the North Atlantic Oscillation in the 1840s. These blocking patterns also have a tendency to produce anomalously mild conditions at very high latitudes, at least in those regions exposed to anomalous flow from the ocean as in Greenland and Beringia, or from chinook winds as in Interior Alaska . Such cold winters over the contiguous United States and southern Canada as 1911/12, 1935/36, 1977/78 and 1978/79 resulted from blocks in the Gulf of Alaska or to the east of the Mackenzie Mountains directing very cold Arctic air with a long trajectory as far as the American South, as did the Western cold waves of 1889/90 and January 1950. In Northern and Western Europe, cold winters such as 1683/84, 1739/40, 1794/95, 1829/30, 1894/95, 1916/17, 1941/42, February 1947 and 1962/63 are almost always associated with high-latitude Atlantic blocking and an equatorward shift of the polar jet stream to Portugal and even Morocco.
