Testimonial - Introduction to THERM
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.

What did you enjoy most about the course?
Learning a new skill and software and understanding thermal bridges on a deeper level
What is the most useful thing you have learned?
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 has this course benefited you?
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.
Do you have any tips for future participants?
Don't worry about trying THERM out before you start the course - it is very unintuitive and you will learn much more efficiently with the video guidance.
