Thermal Barriers in Aluminium Fenestration Systems

Credit type: 1 AIA LU.

What are thermal breaks, and how do they work? In our webinar, Thermal Barriers in Aluminum, we look at the main methods of adding thermal breaks into aluminum frames. We also explore how architects can use different combinations to meet the energy demands of each project and code requirement.

Learning Objective

• Recognize and use the benefits of a thermal barrier in aluminum fenestration systems
• Recognize available thermal barrier technology options and how each one works
• Identify the test procedures and standards used to evaluate system performance
• Examine the benefits of properly leveraging the connection between the interior and exterior environments
