Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Port St Lucie

The Definition Of A Passive House

In the realm of sustainable construction,  a Passive House stands out as a symbol of energy conservation and eco-consciousness. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a pledge to a specific set of building standards aimed at achieving unsurpassed power saving and living ease while minimizing the building's ecological footprint. These principles, established in 2015, are applied to various building types, including home, multi-family, and office buildings. At the core of a Passive House lies a focus to minimizing energy usage for heating and cooling. Attaining certification from the prestigious Passive House Institute US entails meeting stringent criteria that ensure superior performance and sustainability.

Important Characteristics Passive House's Windows & Doors

The Very Best Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of continuous thermal protection throughout the building envelope to eradicate thermal gaps and bridges, thereby optimizing living comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the emphasis is on high-quality glass and heat retention. Considerations such as U-Value and insulation effectiveness are important considerations. The heat transfer rate measures the heat transfer rate through a window or door, with lower figures denoting improved insulating properties. Meanwhile, R-Value calculates the insulating capability in preventing thermal transfer, with higher numbers signifying superior performance. Our selection of two and three-layer glazing utilizes low-emissivity glass infused with argon gas, ensuring the best energy efficiency for energy-efficient constructions.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors play a pivotal role in the building envelope's integrity, making them vital components in Passive House construction. Our products are crafted to deliver superior performance, effectively sealing off air leaks and drafts. The products we offer undergo extensive testing to exceed industry standards for reducing air infiltration. Additionally, correct installation is crucial, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the window's frame and the wall.
