THERM Insights

What is THERM?

THERM is a two-dimensional heat-transfer analysis program developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). It is used to model heat transfer through building components like walls, windows, and roofs. THERM helps calculate U-factors, temperature distributions, and heat flows, aiding in the design of energy-efficient buildings and compliance with energy codes.
