Retrofitting traditional buildings is essential to meet Ireland’s and the UK’s Net Zero targets by 2050. However, one major challenge often overlooked in retrofitting projects is thermal bridging, which can compromise both energy performance and building integrity.
Why does thermal bridging matter in retrofits?
🔹 Up to 30% of heat loss in a well-insulated building can be due to unaddressed thermal bridges.
🔹 It poses risks of condensation, mould growth, and structural damage.
🔹 Essential for meeting updated energy performance regulations, such as Ireland’s Part L and the UK’s Future Homes Standard.
