Thermal bridging

Heat flow that occurs across more conductive components in an otherwise well-insulated assembly, resulting in disproportionately significant heat loss. For example, steel studs in an insulated wall dramatically reduce the overall energy performance of the wall, because of thermal bridging through the steel.
