Two-Dimensional Building Heat-Transfer Modeling

THERM is a state-of-the-art computer program developed at Lawrence Berkeley Na)onal Laboratory (LBNL) for use by building component manufacturers, engineers, educa
architects, and others interested in heat transfer. Using THERM, you can model two-dimensional heat-transfer eects in building components such as windows, walls, found
and doors; appliances; and other products where thermal bridges are of concern. THERM's heat-transfer analysis allows you to evaluate a products energy eciency and lo
paTerns, which may relate directly to problems with condensa)on, moisture damage, and structural integrity.

THERMs two-dimensional conduc)on heat-transfer analysis is based on the nite-element method, which can model the complicated geometries of building products. See
more details.

THERM can be used with the Berkeley Lab WINDOW program. THERM's results can be used with WINDOW's center-of-glass op)cal and thermal models to determine total
U-factors and Solar Heat Gain Coecients. These values can be used, in turn, with the RESFEN program, which calculates total annual energy requirements in typical reside
the United States.
