Abstract
An experimental and numerical approach to the characterization of thermal bridges is presented, based on on-site taken measurements. Commonly on-site applied numerical thermal assessments perform one-dimensional heat transfer analysis over planar elements such as facades. However, it is well known that within thermal bridges in a building one-dimensional heat transfer analysis cannot be applied. A procedure is proposed, based on the creation of a numerical 2D thermal model which is calibrated against experimental data from several temperature and heat flux sensors which are located at specific points in the thermal bridge elements. Results of one particular implementation of this method are discussed.
