The BRE Trust has published a new report that sets out clear principles to be considered during the design and installation of solid wall insulation in order to reduce thermal bridging effects and the risk of condensation. Using examples from recent BRE refurbishment projects, the publication explores key methods of retrospectively applying insulation where typical practice could exacerbate the effects of thermal bridging, namely: increased heat loss from a building compared with what was assumed during energy modelling, and increased risk of condensation or mould growth from lower internal surface temperatures at or near to the thermal bridge junction.
