Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Concord

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of sustainable construction,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy efficiency and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a pledge to a unique set of design principles aimed at achieving unsurpassed energy efficiency and living ease while minimizing the building's ecological footprint. These principles, established in 2015, are applied to various construction categories, including house, condominium, and office buildings. At the center of a sustainable home lies a focus to minimizing energy usage for warming and cool air. Attaining certification from the renowned Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure outstanding operation and sustainability.

Important Characteristics Passive House's Windows & Doors

The Very Best Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the goal of uninterrupted thermal protection throughout the building envelope to eliminate thermal gaps and conductive bridges, thereby optimizing comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the emphasis is on exceptional glass and heat retention. Considerations such as U-Value and R-Value are important considerations. The U-Factor measures the heat transfer rate through a window or door, with lower numbers indicating superior insulating properties. Meanwhile, R-Value quantifies the effectiveness of insulation in blocking temperature transfer, with higher numbers signifying superior performance. Our collection of double and triple-pane systems utilizes low-E window panes infused with argon, ensuring the best power efficiency for energy-efficient constructions.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors provide a essential role in the integrity of the building envelope, making them key components in Passive House construction. Our products are designed to deliver outstanding performance, effectively preventing air leaks and drafts. The products we offer undergo rigorous testing to surpass industry standards for air infiltration reduction. Additionally, accurate installation is paramount, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the window frame and the structure.
