I have a question regarding Thermal breaks on Steel buildings. I am not sure if a mechanical engineer usually deals with this but since it affects R values and hvac performance I figure that it would be a HVAC topic. If you have a steel building with roof and walls with R values of r-30, instead of a typical building having 2 different r-values. Can you eliminate thermal breaks on the building if you run a comcheck and it passes?

Thank you
