Some of the highest thermal energy losses from a building are through its envelope systems and components. These thermal losses contribute significantly to the energy used by HVAC systems and, in turn, the energy bill and carbon footprint of the building. The best way to assess how well a building or solution is performing on the thermal point of view is a specifically studied combination of different activities, such as airtightness tests, and thermal, heat flux and hygrothermal monitoring.
