In addition to what Ned has suggested, you can look at the Composite 
Construction Dataset that was issued with V1.0.3.  ORNL did a lot of 
calculations with 3D models and came up with equivalent constructions that 
allow building modeling with the equivalent u-values for constructions that 
may have thermal bridging.  While this does not actually simulate the 
problems that may occur with thermal bridging, it may help you simulate the 
bulding appropriately.  References to other material regarding these 
constructions is included in the Dataset file.  I believe a short 
description also got put in the Output Details and Examples document for 
the V1.0.3 release.
