One of the most critical places in buildings in terms of physical thermal properties are windows. This is the most frequent place where the temperature drops below the dew point and surface condensation, or mould, develops. The work deals with the study of the surface temperature courses at the critical points of window glazing and connection joints and the subsequent improvement of the initial unsatisfactory condition by using a patented technology, a conductive material without further intervention in the structure. In the case of a very unsatisfactory condition, a heating resistance wire was attached to the bar, which in combination with the bar distributes the heat to a wider area. The evaluation of the surface temperature increase was performed in a steady-state thermal analysis with fixed boundary conditions and then with the influence of the flow in a room with the heater placed under the window.
