Presented by: Matthew Scherrer with InSoFast
Topic: Thermal Bridging and BS
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).

Sign up to get the Newsletter and reminders of monthly meet-ups
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 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 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.
