This paper presents the design and monitoring scheme of an energy efficient high school building with emphasis on the analysis of constructive and geometric thermal bridges that can affect the overall energy consumption and thermal comfort. The ANTHERM software is used to accurately assess the specific details and determine isotherms, heat flux distribution and the Psi-values (Ψ value) of the sections where different types of materials connect. A monitoring system with temperature sensors installed in the layers of the building envelope elements has been designed in order to compare the obtained values with the real time thermal performances of the envelope elements. The study highlights the influence of the type and thickness of the insulation materials used in the specific constructive details on the overall thermal performance of buildings.
