In case a thermal bridge free connection is not possible (e.g. modernisation to the EnerPHit Standard), this thermal bridge catalogue can support the designer. The catalog contains typical Ψ-values and f_Rsi factors of common connection details in a building, for a range of insulation thickness from 0-400mm, thereby allowing the identification of Ψ-values for the use within various climate conditions.

The thermal bridge catalogue was completed in the frame of the SINFONIA project and was compiled with the greatest care, the best of our knowledge and belief. However, no liability can be accepted for any content-related shortcomings or errors. Any liability for the accuracy and completeness of the contents and data and particular for any damage or consequences arising from the use of the information presented here is therefore excluded.

• For an even more precise identification of thermal bridge coefficients,​ a new tool has been developed, simplifying the selection of connection detail, insulation thickness, and thermal conductivity. You can find out more about this Thermal Bridge Tool here (free)
