Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Lawrence

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a example of energy conservation and eco-consciousness. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a pledge to a specific set of architectural guidelines aimed at achieving unparalleled energy conservation and coziness while minimizing the house's ecological footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various building types, including residential, apartment, and office buildings. At the heart of a sustainable home lies a dedication to minimizing power use for heating and cool air. Attaining certification from the renowned Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure outstanding operation and environmental responsibility.

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

Unparalleled Energy Efficiency

Essential to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of uninterrupted thermal protection throughout the construction to remove thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby maximizing indoor comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for energy-efficient projects, the focus is on high-quality window panes and thermal insulation. Factors such as U-Factor and R-Rating are vital aspects. The heat transfer rate calculates the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower values denoting better insulating properties. Meanwhile, insulation R-Value measures the insulating capability in blocking temperature transfer, with higher values denoting superior effectiveness. Our collection of dual and triple-glazing systems employs Low-E glass panes filled with inert gas, providing the best energy efficiency for Passive House builds.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors take on a crucial role in the overall integrity of the building envelope, making them vital components in the design of Passive Houses. Our products are designed to deliver exceptional performance, effectively blocking drafts and leaks. The products we offer undergo rigorous testing to outperform industry standards for minimizing air infiltration. Additionally, proper installation is essential, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the window frame and the wall.
