[EnergyPlus_Support] How to simulate linear thermal bridges - EPlus vs Design Builder

[André Lopes <andr_lopes2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

Using Design Builder and/or EnergyPlus v1.4 :

    By Zone, what is the best way to simulate the total value of losses due to the linear thermal bridges (eg.: due to windows, wall/roof interface, etc)?

        Or

    I don´t need to insert the value, because the software already calculates these losses using the Building Geometry?

Which one of the above questions is correct?

Regards

A L
