[EnergyPlus_Support] thermal bridging

[Emanuele Naboni <emanuele.naboni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Just a question: how is EnergyPlus able to take in account thermal bridging?

I read trough the reference guide that for example for windows there is a coefficient to consider different conductance properties between the center of the pane and the area close to the external frame. 

Are there any calculation that takes this in account when 2 different assembly are attached? what could be a good way to consider both geometric and thermal bridging.

Thank you.

Emanuele
