Technical Precedent - NoXX Apartment Analysis
1:5 Detail A
1:10 Detail A Thermal envelope line
There is a break in the thermal envelope due to a lack of insulation behind the PFC (Parallel Flanged Channel). This results in a cold bridge leading to cold air entering through. A solution to this would be to introduce a thermally broken connection. Cold air
The purpose of this analysis is to address any issues in the existing detail, so that it can then be re-interpreted for my own use. The desired intention is to rotate the steel beam so that it sits vertically within the brick facade.
Thermal envelope line
Steel has been shifted to the right, a plate is bolted in and thermal insulation is added to create a thermally broken connection.
