CYPETHERM HE Plus, CYPETHERM LOADS and CYPETHERM EPlus analyse linear thermal bridges to calculate the corresponding transmittance values, depending on the properties of the adopted construction solutions.
This analysis is carried out taking into account the specifications to be applied depending on the code that has been selected to calculate the thermal transmittance in linear thermal bridges.
BIM models contain the geometric description of the building, whereas technical information has to be introduced using specific programs.
Therefore, to detect linear thermal bridges, the program must carry out a two-stage analysis. During the first stage, ‘Edges’ are imported as purely geometric entities, obtained from the intersection of two different construction elements. The second stage consists of the ‘Linear thermal bridge analysis’ which obtains the linear thermal bridges and their corresponding transmittance values based on the edges, and depending on the properties of the adopted construction solutions and the description of the building from the thermal analysis point of view (zone distribution, space description, etc.).
