Better Building with Thermal Breaks
2026-06-17 13:00 - 14:00 | https://gbes.com/event/better-building-with-thermal-bridging/
Thermal bridging is a major, often overlooked source of heat loss that can significantly impact building performance, comfort, and durability. This webinar explores where thermal bridges commonly occur within the building envelope and how thoughtful design, including the use of structural thermal breaks and continuous insulation, can reduce heat transfer and improve overall efficiency. Participants will gain a practical understanding of key thermal performance concepts, condensation risks, and strategies for meeting evolving standards such as ASHRAE and LEED v5, while supporting long-term building resilience and cost savings.
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

Define thermal bridging and explain its impact on energy performance, comfort, and durability.
Interpret key thermal metrics and terminology, including U-values, R-values, and conductivity.
Identify common thermal bridging locations and evaluate strategies such as continuous insulation and thermal breaks. –
Explain how thermal bridging influences condensation risk and how current standards and frameworks, such as ASHRAE and LEED v5, address mitigation.

This webinar can be self-reported for 1 free general-hour credit toward LEED, WELL, and/or AIA continuing education.
