Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Brookfield

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of eco-friendly building,  a Passive House stands out as a symbol of energy conservation and environmental responsibility. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a commitment to a special set of architectural guidelines aimed at achieving exceptional energy efficiency and coziness while minimizing the house's ecological footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various construction categories, including home, multi-family, and commercial buildings. At the heart of a sustainable home lies a dedication to minimizing power use for heating and cool air. Attaining approval from the renowned Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure exceptional performance and sustainability.

What's Need From A Passive House's Windows & Doors

Superb Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the goal of seamless insulation throughout the construction to remove thermal gaps and conductive bridges, thereby enhancing indoor comfort and power efficiency. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House projects, the focus is on high-quality window panes and thermal insulation. Factors such as U-Factor and R-Rating are vital considerations. The heat transfer rate calculates the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower numbers denoting superior thermal resistance. Meanwhile, R-Value measures insulation's effectiveness in resisting thermal transfer, with higher numbers signifying better performance. Our range of two and three-layer glazing employs Low-E glass panes filled with argon gas, ensuring the optimal energy savings for Passive House builds.

A Major Focus On Airtightness

Windows and doors provide a crucial role in the integrity of the building envelope, making them vital components in Passive House construction. Our products are crafted to deliver exceptional performance, effectively sealing off air leaks and drafts. The products we offer undergo thorough testing to exceed industry standards for air infiltration reduction. Additionally, proper installation is crucial, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the window frame and the structure.
