Original Abstract

Energy need for heating depends on the heat loss of the building. It is essential to minimize heat losses when designing and building energy efficient buildings. For an energyefficient building in a cold climate, a large part of the space heating demand is caused by transmission losses through the building envelope. The low-energy buildings are consist of building construction with high thermal resistance. The impact of thermal bridges was studied by comparative calculations for a case study building with different amounts of insulation. When more insulation is used the relative impact of thermal bridges increases. Therefore, it is necessary to specify each thermal bridge. This thesis deals with the influence of thermal bridges on energy need for heating in low energy wooden houses.
