Computer simulation of heating properties in wall partition with built-in elements that imitate thermal bridges

The article aimed at presenting of the design assumptions of the wall partition built anda results of computer simulation of thermal properties in a heterogeneous wall partition in THERM. Display of the isotherms' distribution, heat flux vectors and temperature distribution in the area of thermal bridges and beyond. The tested partition on the basis of which simulations were created, was equipped with elements imitating thermal bridges, used in construction, to show their influence on the thermal properties of building structures. Thermal bridges can take the form of linear and point bridges. The example described in the article concerns the problem of thermal bridges occurring in wall partitions. The simulation is a preliminary pilot action before the start of non-invasive tests, ie measurement and calculation of the heat transfer coefficient, thermovision measurements on the surface of the barrier
