Heat losses and gains through opaque building envelopes (such as walls, roofs and floors) significantly affect the overall energy consumption of buildings. To reduce energy consumption of buildings, it is important to ensure that building envelopes exhibit excellent thermal insulation performance. However, the actual insulation performance of building envelopes varies depending on components and construction methods even if the same insulations of equal thickness are used. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate thermal insulation performances of various opaque building envelopes considering thermal bridges and to discuss methods of reducing thermal bridges.
