Consultant: Applied Energy Consulting
Overview
Applied Energy Consulting has conducted dozens of thermal bridging analyses across diverse building types, addressing heat transfer inefficiencies in building envelopes. Our work ensures compliance with NECB, ASHRAE 90.1, and LEED standards, while helping clients improve energy performance, reduce operational costs, and achieve net-zero energy and carbon reduction goals.
Our targeted approach focuses on critical envelope components—walls, roofs, windows, and structural penetrations—providing solutions that minimize energy loss and meet regulatory requirements.
Key Contributions
- Simulation and Advanced Modeling Techniques
· Cutting-Edge Tools:
Utilizing tools like THERM, WUFI, and Heat3, we identify and quantify thermal bridging in areas such as wall-to-slab and roof-to-wall connections.
· Standards Compliance:
Models are designed to meet NECB 2017/2020, ASHRAE 90.1, and LEED v4.1 standards.
· Dynamic Modeling:
Real-world climate conditions and material properties are incorporated into analyses for year-round performance optimization. - Optimized Design Recommendations
· Thermal Breaks:
Solutions include thermally broken window frames and insulated steel connections to reduce heat transfer.
· Continuous Insulation:
Design strategies ensure uninterrupted insulation layers in walls, roofs, and floors, boosting R-values.
· Innovative Materials:
Recommendations include vacuum-insulated panels, aerogels, and rigid foam boards to enhance thermal performance. - Performance Metrics and Measurable Results
· U-Value Reductions:
Thermal bridging analyses yield up to 40% improvement in thermal resistance.
· Energy Savings:
Projects achieve 20-30% reductions in heating and cooling loads, lowering costs.
· Certification Support:
Solutions contribute to NECB, ASHRAE 90.1, and LEED compliance and credit attainment.
· Net-Zero Readiness:
Buildings are future-proofed for evolving codes and sustainability goals.
