What Is a Thermal Bridge-Free Detail?
Thermal bridge-free details (the Passive House's — the ≤0.01 W/mK; the psi's) eliminate the heat's bypass (the steel's — the penetrating; the concrete's — the slab's; the fasteners') — the details wrapping (the insulation's — the continuous; the structure's — the separated). The detail: the psi's (the linear's — the calculated), the chi's (the point's), and the verification (the modeled — the THERM's). The envelope's — the unbroken.

The bridges
The steel (the penetrating — the shelf angles'; the conductivity's — the 50x), the concrete (the slab edges — the balconies'; the parapets'), the fasteners (the cladding's — the z-girts'; the screws'), and the windows (the frames' — the installed; the bucks').
The details
The separated (the structure's — the insulation's between; the clip's — the thermal), the wrapped (the continuous — the corners'; the transitions'), the psi (the ≤0.01 — the bridge-free's; the calculated), and the chi (the point's — the fasteners'; the minimized).
Design and verification
The THERM (the modeled — the 2D's; the psi's), the catalog (the details' — the standard; the Passive House's), the construction (the sequence's — the maintained; the inspection's), and the cost (the premium's — the 2-5%; the energy's). The bridge-free is the high-performance's — the detail designed, the heat kept.
The bottom line
Design thermal bridge-free details (psi ≤0.01 W/mK) by separating structure from cladding with continuous insulation — model with THERM, use thermal clips, and inspect sequencing.
