SKA performed thermographic modelling of multiple design iterations of two different exterior wall configurations using THERM 7.7, a two-dimensional heat transfer computer program for building components such as windows, walls, foundations, roofs, and doors where thermal bridges are of concern. The THERM’s heat-transfer analysis software evaluated the energy efficiency and local temperature patterns in the modeled wall systems, which can help relate directly to potential problems with condensation, moisture damage, and structural integrity.  After multiple design iterations, the two modeled exterior wall systems that met or exceeded the NCSBC Energy Conservation Code requirements included the following configurations: 1) Exterior Stud Wall [Framed metal wall consisting of R-19 in 6” 18 gage metal framing at 16” on center with 5/8” gypsum sheathing on each side, liquid applied air + water barrier, 1” XPS Ci fit between 1-1/2” 18 gage Z furring at each stud fastened at 16” on center vertical with 1/8” or 1/4” Vaproshield thermal spacer and cement board cladding with drainage plane] and 2) Natatorium CMU Wall [8” mostly filled CMU mass wall with liquid applied air+ water barrier, 1” XPS Ci fit between 1-1/2 18 gage Z furring at 16 “on center running vertical without a thermal spacer and cement board cladding with drainage plane].
