Thermal bridges detailed calculation

Anonymous
Not applicable
The way how EcoDesigner claculates Psi-value of thermal bridge is quite simple and not clear to engineers, who are not dealing with building physics every day. Basically it "flatens" the construction removing 3rd dimension and making 2D model for calculation. Psi-value itself is not the value we need. Psi-value is indeed just flattened H-value (U*A). We need L2D, the difference of Psi values of total detail and its parts. So, the point of my post:
There must be a way to insert proper boundary conditions to every part of construction. Different surface resistances for floor wall and roof. To make that we must choose not internal/external spaces, but surfaces. There must be an option to mark an adiabatic surfaces.
