Thermal Modelling
Optimised Performance
Farrat can deliver a robust suite of thermal modelling and simulation services designed to gain a clearer understanding of thermal connections’ performance and reduce energy loss at junctions. Leveraging over 60 years of engineering experience, our in-house team uses validated software tools to accurately calculate Psi and Chi values, assess U-values with and evaluate condensation risk—all in line with ISO standards.
Our Thermal Modelling Service provides Architects, Structural Engineers, and Specifiers with accurate performance data to support informed decision-making in the design and construction of high-performance buildings.
Why Choose Farrat’s Thermal Modelling Service?
- Accurate Performance Analysis – Using advanced 3D finite element analysis (FEA), we simulate heat transfer through structural connections to assess the thermal efficiency of Farrat structural thermal breaks.
- Regulatory Compliance – Our modelling aligns with key building regulations and sustainability standards, helping you meet Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power) and other energy efficiency requirements.
- Condensation Risk Assessment – We analyse surface temperatures and predict condensation risks, ensuring occupant comfort and protecting against long-term structural damage.
- Optimised Specification Support – By providing detailed thermal performance data, we help you select the right Farrat thermal break solution for your project, balancing structural load requirements with thermal efficiency.
- Bespoke Solutions – Every project is unique. We tailor our analysis to real-world construction details, ensuring results that are practical, applicable, and reliable.
What Our Thermal Modelling Includes
Thermal transmittance (U-value) calculations
Linear thermal transmittance (Ψ-value) calculations
Surface temperature factor (fRsi) assessment for condensation risk
Comparative analysis of different thermal break materials
