Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Canton

What Is A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy conservation and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a dedication to a unique set of building standards aimed at achieving unsurpassed energy efficiency and living ease while minimizing the house's carbon footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various kinds of structures, including home, condominium, and commercial buildings. At the core of a Passive House lies a dedication to minimizing energy consumption for heat and cooling. Attaining approval from the coveted Passive House Institute US entails meeting strict criteria that ensure exceptional performance and environmental responsibility.

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

Unparalleled Energy Efficiency

Central to the Passive House Standard is the goal of continuous thermal protection throughout the construction to remove thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby optimizing living comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for energy-efficient projects, the priority is on superior glazing and heat retention. Parameters such as U-Value and R-Rating are vital considerations. The heat transfer rate measures the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower values showing improved insulating properties. Meanwhile, insulation R-Value measures the effectiveness of insulation in blocking temperature transfer, with increased figures signifying better performance. Our selection of two and three-layer glazing employs low-emissivity glass infused with argon, guaranteeing the maximum energy efficiency for Passive House projects.

A Major Focus On Airtightness

Windows and doors play a crucial role in the overall integrity of the building envelope, making them vital components in Passive House design. Our products are engineered to deliver exceptional performance, effectively sealing off air leaks and drafts. Pella products undergo thorough testing to surpass industry standards for minimizing air infiltration. Additionally, correct installation is crucial, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the frame of the window and the building.
