Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Dayton

What Is A Passive House

In the realm of eco-friendly building,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy conservation and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a structure; it's a dedication to a unique set of building standards aimed at achieving unparalleled energy efficiency and living ease while minimizing the structure's ecological footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various kinds of structures, including house, condominium, and business structures. At the heart of a sustainable home lies a dedication to minimizing energy consumption for warming and cooling. Attaining accreditation from the renowned Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure superior performance and eco-friendliness.

Essential Attributes of Passive House's Windows & Doors

Unparalleled Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the aim of seamless heat retention throughout the construction to remove thermal gaps and conductive bridges, thereby maximizing living comfort and power efficiency. When it comes to windows and doors for energy-efficient projects, the priority is on superior window panes and insulation. Parameters such as U-Value and R-Value are crucial considerations. The heat transfer rate measures the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower figures denoting improved insulating properties. Meanwhile, insulation R-Value measures the insulating capability in preventing thermal transfer, with increased figures denoting superior efficiency. Our range of double and triple-pane systems employs low-E window panes filled with argon, guaranteeing the optimal energy efficiency for Passive House projects.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors play a essential role in the building envelope's integrity, making them critical components in Passive House construction. Our products are engineered to deliver superior performance, effectively blocking 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 building.
