Course attended: THERM Self Study Course 2024
What did you think of the course?
Learning a new skill and software and understanding thermal bridges on a deeper level
What was the key learning outcome for you?
Where the calculation of a psi-value comes from - that it is the correction between the actual heat loss through a junction and the more simplistic assumed calculation in SAP or PHPP software based on u-value and length.
How will you apply what you learned?
I have recently started a new job that involves me being more engaged in SAP and PHPP analysis of projects. The course has given me a deeper understanding of the calculation of Thermal Bridges, which I think leads to the better practice of designing out thermal bridges in designs. I have already been using the skills I learnt on the course to model heat loss in THERM.
