Monthly Meet-up

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6, 2025

Time: 6-8 PM

Location:   

PRG Office

 2042 Stadium Drive, Suite 1 

Bozeman, MT

Presented by:  Matthew Scherrer with InSoFast

Topic:  Thermal Bridging and BS 

Thermal Bridging and BS with InSoFast

 InSoFast provides advanced insulation solutions designed to deliver continuous thermal protection across a wide range of building applications. Our systems include rigid foam panels as well as integrated solutions for closed-cell spray foam, blown-in, and batt insulation. These products are engineered to simplify installation while enhancing energy efficiency and moisture control.

A core benefit of InSoFast systems is their ability to eliminate thermal bridging—the unwanted transfer of heat through structural elements like metal or wood studs. By maintaining a continuous insulation layer and using non-conductive materials, our systems prevent gaps in thermal protection, ensuring consistent performance across the building envelope.

 

InSoFast Panels

• UX Panels: 2" thick, R-8.5.  EXi Panels: 2.5" thick, R-10. MAX Panels: 3.75" thick, R-15.

X-Bracket System

• Available in 2.5", 3.75", 5.5", 7.5", and 9.5" sizes.

Batt-Bracket System

• Designed for exterior walls and roofs using high-density batt insulation (e.g., Rockwool, wood fiber).

Bozeman BS & Beer

Committed to Knowledge, Growth, & Collaboration

BS* and Beer is a local discussion group for builders, architects,  engineers, tradespeople and anyone interested in better building.  Building Science* is  simply the laws of physics, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics applied to  the building. We gather monthly at a brewery, pub or job site to  discuss these  topics in our industry, enjoy a few refreshments, and engage in the high  performance building community.

Building Thermal Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

 Building thermal dynamics refers to the study of how heat is  transferred, stored, and distributed within a building. It encompasses  the interaction between the  building’s materials, design, and environmental factors such as  sunlight, wind, and temperature. Thermal dynamics in construction  involve understanding heat flows  through conduction (via walls and roofs), convection (through air  movement), and radiation (from sunlight or heated surfaces). Effective  thermal management ensures energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and sustainability, guiding the  choice of insulation, ventilation systems, and materials to regulate  indoor temperatures efficiently. 

Building Fluid Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

 Building fluid dynamics refers to the study of how air and liquids move  within and around a building. This includes analyzing airflow for  ventilation, heating, and  cooling systems, as well as the behavior of water in plumbing, drainage,  and rainwater management. In construction, fluid dynamics helps  optimize energy efficiency,  indoor air quality, and occupant comfort by modeling air circulation,  controlling moisture, and ensuring efficient water flow. Key factors  include wind forces, pressure  differences, and the design of ducts, pipes, and building openings to  balance performance and sustainability.
