Modelling Thermal bridges in honeybee

Hi @gonchotorena

You might take a look at the last post in the thread here for some information on thermal bridges:

Using Honeybee THERM to Calculate Psi-Values

Hi @fn Unfortunately EnergyPlus does not have a built in method for handling thermal bridges that I know of. There are some methods I have seen used in the past as ‘work arounds’ but I think the best method for accounting for those construction thermal bridges at this point is to build in their effects into the U-Values of the building. This method is not great, and is a lot more complicated than just having the ability to input Psi-Values and lengths, but we don’t have any option in E+ curren…

all the best,
