Thermal bridges in the EPBD context: overview of MS approaches in regulations

Within the context of an energy performance regulation, it is essential to take transmission losses into account. If the building details are not well designed or carried out, thermal bridges can substantially increase the transmission losses. Additionally there is a risk of surface condensation and mould growth on the inner surfaces which can cause health and aesthetic problems. This document represents the status in the MS at the end of 2007.
