Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Provo

The Definition Of A Passive House

In the realm of sustainable construction,  a Passive House stands out as a symbol of energy conservation and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a building; it's a commitment to a unique set of architectural guidelines aimed at achieving unparalleled energy conservation and comfort while minimizing the building's carbon footprint. These principles, established in 2015, are applied to various building types, including residential, apartment, and commercial buildings. At the center of a Passive House lies a focus to minimizing energy consumption for warming and air conditioning. Attaining approval from the renowned Passive House Institute US entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure superior efficiency and eco-friendliness.

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

Superb Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the aim of seamless thermal protection throughout the construction to eliminate thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby enhancing indoor comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for energy-efficient projects, the focus is on superior glass and heat retention. Factors such as U-Factor and R-Value are vital considerations. The U-Factor quantifies the rate of heat transfer through a window or door, with lower values denoting improved insulation. Meanwhile, R-Value calculates insulation's effectiveness in preventing heat or cold transmission, with higher numbers indicating better effectiveness. Our range of dual and triple-glazing systems employs low-E window panes filled with argon gas, ensuring the optimal energy efficiency for Passive House builds.

Impeccable Airtightness

Windows and doors play a essential role in the integrity of the building envelope, making them vital components in Passive House construction. Our products are engineered to deliver superior performance, effectively sealing off drafts and leaks. Our products undergo extensive testing to outperform industry standards for reducing air infiltration. Additionally, proper installation is paramount, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the frame of the window and the structure.
