Best Answer

Windows are in most situations the least insulated element of a room and therefore are the most common location for thermal bridging to occur. By placing a heat source in front of windows convection air flows insulate the internal room from radiant cooling from the window.

Radiators in front of windows are in the most effective and energy efficient position in these situations.
