Thermal Bridging in Buildings
Cold spots at structure, fixtures; impact on temperature, condensation, and overall efficiency.

A thermal bridge is a localised path where heat bypasses the insulation - through a more conductive material or a geometric weak point. Even a well-insulated building can lose significant heat, and suffer condensation, through neglected bridges.
