thermal bridge
This term is a technical expression used primarily in architecture, civil engineering, and building physics. It describes a structural flaw where heat escapes more rapidly than intended, often leading to "cold spots" on interior surfaces. These spots are prone to condensation and subsequent mold growth, making the term critical in discussions about energy efficiency and building pathology.
In professional contexts, the term is often contrasted with "thermal break," which refers to the intentional insertion of insulating materials to stop the flow of heat. While a thermal bridge is an accidental or structural weakness, a thermal break is a deliberate engineering solution.
