= Heat loss due to linear thermal bridging
{wiki=Heat_loss_due_to_linear_thermal_bridging}
Heat loss due to linear thermal bridging refers to the additional heat loss that occurs at junctions and around openings in building elements—such as walls, roofs, and floors—where two materials meet. This phenomenon occurs because the thermal resistance of the junctions is often lower than that of the surrounding materials, leading to increased heat transfer. **Key Points about Linear Thermal Bridging:** 1.
