U-values, on the other hand, measure heat loss through a specific building element.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are negative consequences for the overall energy performance of the building if thermal bridging of junction detailing is not addressed,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the junction detailing doesn&#8217;t improve, the proportion of heat lost through the junctions will increase and the building will not meet the required fabric energy efficiency. And without careful attention to the construction, junctions may not perform as predicted, resulting in a performance gap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information on the document, Advice Note 6,
