Thermal Breakthrough: Reducing Heat Loss at the Balcony Connection

Thermal Breakthrough: Reducing Heat Loss at the Balcony Connection

Balconies can be positively seen as architectural flair or an outdoor respite. However, in the race to meet today’s energy standards for mid- and high-rise buildings, conventional cantilevered concrete balconies punch through insulation layers, creating thermal bridges that siphon interior heat and undercut performance targets. As developers grapple with environmental standards, the need for thermally efficient building envelopes is no longer op…
