Report BR 497 Conventions for calculating linear thermal transmittance and temperature factors (Withdrawn)
Publication Year
2007
Document Status
Withdrawn, cited in regs
Abstract
Gives the conventions that should be followed by numerical modellers to produce consistent, reproducible results. Identifies two key modelling outputs, temperature factor and linear thermal transmittance, for purposes of building regulation. These key outputs should enable designers to confirm the adequacy of particular junction details and help with the development of novel solutions to improve the thermal performance of junctions.
Document History
Withdrawn January 2016. Prepared to complement the outline methodology for the treatment of thermal bridges given in BRE’s Information Paper IP 1/06.
