A quantitative methodology to evaluate thermal bridges in buildings

The use of multi-layer walls with high thermal resistance values is widely used to reduce heat losses in buildings during wintertime. Nevertheless, it is extremely important to treat also weaker components of the envelope such as doors, windows and all the various thermal bridges, otherwise the efforts in increasing walls thermal resistance can be vanished.
