Balconies - How Do They Impact Wall Performance?

With version 4 of the Toronto Green Standard coming into effect this May, understanding the impacts of thermal bridging is more important than ever to meet TEDI targets. We conducted a study looking at how balconies impact opaque wall performance.

Making informed decisions about balcony design (whether that involves thermal breaks, externally supported balconies, or reducing the total slab balcony perimeter) is imperative to minimize thermal bridging and improve the effectiveness of your clear wall insulation. EQ can help you navigate these impacts on your projects.
