In search of resources: –

Is anyone aware of software to calculate thermal bridging in accordance with BRE IP01/06, or BS EN ISO 10211-1 Thermal bridges in building construction – Heat flows and surface temperatures – Parts 1and 2?

The reason for asking it that the THERM software does not extend to this. (I've contacted LBL about THERM and they said they will add this request for features to the list of future upgrades…..though they also noted it may take a few years.)
