Performance gap, the Glossary
A performance gap is a disparity that is found between the energy use predicted and carbon emissions in the design stage of buildings and the energy use of those buildings in operation.[1]

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Performance gap and Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are Building engineering.
See Performance gap and Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
Insulator (electricity)
An electrical insulator is a material in which electric current does not flow freely.
See Performance gap and Insulator (electricity)
Thermal bridge
A thermal bridge, also called a cold bridge, heat bridge, or thermal bypass, is an area or component of an object which has higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding materials, creating a path of least resistance for heat transfer. Performance gap and thermal bridge are Building engineering.
