About

I have a keen interest in thermal modeling and hygrothermal analysis which look at the effects of thermal bridging due to heat and air movement in building wall and roof assemblies. My goal is to help keep the heat in and push the dew point out by developing thermal bridging solutions.

Rob Haley has over 12 years’ experience solving thermal bridging problems and is the founder and president of Thermal Bridging Solutions. Prior to starting Thermal Bridging Solutions, Rob was a partner at Armadillo NV where he was responsible for the research, development and marketing of Armatherm™ thermal break materials. During this time, he received a US patent for a thermally broken Z girt cladding attachment. He is a member of IIBEC (RCI), NIBS BETC and is a reviewer of the ASHRAE 90.1 addendum av, which is addressing thermal bridging not currently regulated by the standard. Rob holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Northeastern University and was the engineering and marketing manager at Fabreeka International where he worked for 28 years. In 2012, prior to leaving Fabreeka, he developed the first structural thermal break material for bolted steel connections offered in North America, Fabreeka-TIM®
