Is this course for you?
Thermal bridges are one of the key ways that buildings lose heat and understanding them is critical to designing effective low energy buildings.
This course is aimed at Passivhaus Designer/Consultants, or those who have a similar level of understanding of building physics.
"The THERM course was straightforward to follow and I now possess the confidence to model them and evaluate junctions for potential issues."
