Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Green Bay

The Definition Of A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy conservation and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a structure; it's a commitment to a specific set of architectural guidelines aimed at achieving unparalleled energy conservation and coziness while minimizing the building's carbon footprint. These principles, established in 2015, are applied to various building types, including home, multi-family, and business structures. At the core of a sustainable home lies a focus to minimizing energy usage for warming and cool air. Attaining certification from the renowned PHIUS entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure outstanding efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Essential Attributes of Passive House's Windows & Doors

The Very Best Energy Efficiency

Essential to the Passive House Standard is the goal of continuous insulation throughout the structure to remove thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby optimizing indoor comfort and power efficiency. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House projects, the priority is on superior window panes and insulation. Considerations such as heat transfer rate and insulation effectiveness are important elements. The heat transfer rate quantifies the heat transfer rate through a window or door, with lower numbers indicating improved thermal resistance. Meanwhile, insulation R-Value measures the insulating capability in blocking thermal transfer, with higher values signifying superior effectiveness. Our range of two and three-layer glazing utilizes Low-E glass panes containing argon gas, guaranteeing the maximum energy efficiency for energy-efficient constructions.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors play a essential role in the overall integrity of the building envelope, making them key components in Passive House construction. Our products are engineered to deliver superior performance, effectively preventing unwanted air and water infiltration. Our products undergo rigorous testing to exceed industry standards for air infiltration reduction. Additionally, accurate installation is essential, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the frame of the window and the building.
