Technical Precedent - NoXX Apartment Analysis

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.

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.

Steel has been shifted to the right, a plate is bolted in and thermal insulation is added to create a thermally broken connection.
