Calculation method

Calculation method

Thermal bridge projected area (m²)

Area=sum(length×width)-entered intersection overlap; divide by envelope.

Projected bridge area fraction

Area=sum(length×width)-entered intersection overlap; divide by envelope.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Projected area tally only; no U-value, condensation or two-dimensional bridge simulation. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Projected area tally only; no U-value, condensation or two-dimensional bridge simulation.
