Abstract
Building energy codes, such as ASHRAE 90.1, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), and the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB), provide minimum performance requirements for the design of energy-efficient buildings, including roofs. These codes and standards have mainly focused on the insulation requirements with less emphasis on the thermal bridging impact factors and their effect on energy loss. Reasons for the omission could include the absence of data and lack of clear information demonstrating the significance of thermal bridging.
