20. “Thermal Bridging” high thermal conductivity studs, nails, plates and headers low thermal conductivity insulation – In the case of a wall cavity, heat travels through building components with a high thermal conductivity – such as framing members like studs, nails, plates and headers – at a greater rate than through building components with low thermal conductivity – e.g. insulation.
