- Abstract
- This paper gives guidance on assessing the risk of surface condensation and mould growth at thermal bridges around openings in the external elements of buildings, and describes a method of assessing their effect on overall heat loss. It supports the 1995 revision of the Building Regulations for conservation of fuel and power.
