Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation of Thermal Break Strips’ Improvement in Facade LSF Walls

Thermal bridges may have a significant prejudicial impact on the thermal behavior and energy efficiency of buildings. Given the high thermal conductivity of steel, in Lightweight Steel Framed (LSF) buildings, this detrimental effect could be even greater. The use of thermal break (TB) strips is one...
