Façade thermal analysis.

U-value calculations, condensation risk assessments and thermal-bridge calculations for façade and building-envelope projects.

2D and 3D thermal modelling for standard and complex junctions.

Services

What I do

Thermal modelling of façade junctions to determine minimum internal surface temperatures and assess surface condensation risk.

U-value calculations for wall assemblies, façade systems and typical façade bays, including thermal-bridge effects where required.

Psi (ψ)- and Chi (χ)-value calculations for building-envelope junctions, connections and façade components using 2D or 3D modelling as required.

Selected work

01↗

Project-scale assessment of façade junctions for internal surface temperature and condensation risk, typically covering 20–30+ details per project.

02↗

U-, Psi- and Chi-value assessment of a wall assembly using BuildDesk, Flixo and COMSOL.

03↗

Frame U-value and glass-to-frame Psi-value assessment, including transom analysis using the applicable ISO methodology.

04↗

3D finite-element analysis of a complex façade connection to quantify its thermal-bridge performance.

05↗

3D thermal analysis of a complex façade junction to determine minimum internal surface temperature and assess condensation risk.

How I work

Drawings, specifications, project requirements and the calculation required.

The appropriate calculation method and 2D or 3D thermal model are applied according to the project requirements.

Clear calculation outputs and technical documentation for use within the wider project.
