Thermal anchor: lower U-value dispenses with detailed thermal bridge calculation
Current calculations show that the Schöck thermal anchor allows design engineers to dispense with complex and detailed thermal bridge calculations as its thermal conductivity is very low at a lambda value of 0.7 W/mK.
The EN ISO 6946 standard governs the method of calculating the thermal resistance (R-value) and thermal transmittance (U-value) of structural components. It specifies for a correction of the U-value to be made in case of point penetrations, which requires an additional calculation to be made by the design engineer. This correction can be dropped, however, if ∆Uf (number of...
