Thermal transmission | Calculations
The Thermal Transmission - Calculations section deals mainly with the thermal characterisation of building shell elements by means of numerical simulations that can be used to declare the thermal performance of non-homogenous building shell elements as an alternative to physical tests. This activity is carried out in accordance with point 11, “Thermal Transmission Parameters” of the UNI/TS 11300-1 standard.
In addition, the section's staff is involved in a number of on-site and laboratory experimental activities related to the characterisation of certain elements of the building shell described below.
Below is a list of the main products evaluated by the Thermal Transmission - Calculations section divided between numerical simulations and experimental activities.
