I wonder, and excuse me for my ignorance or just not being aware. Is it common in architecture in the USA to think about thermal bridges? I would think because you most commonly build in wooden structures this is less common? Please do correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps this is a misconception of me.
Sorry for the late replay Katrien. Good question. Yes, most small-scale residential structures are built with wood so thermal bridging is less of an issue. But all larger buildings are built with concrete and steel where it is a big issue. Especially when you look at high-rise construction.
