Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Henderson

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of sustainable construction,  a Passive House stands out as a example of energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. A Passive House isn't just a building; it's a dedication to a unique set of design principles aimed at achieving unsurpassed power saving and living ease while minimizing the building's ecological footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various building types, including home, multi-family, and business structures. At the core of a sustainable home lies a commitment to minimizing power use for heat and air conditioning. Attaining certification from the coveted PHIUS entails meeting stringent criteria that ensure outstanding efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Essential Attributes of Passive House’s Windows & Doors

Unparalleled Energy Efficiency

Essential to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of continuous heat retention throughout the construction to remove thermal gaps and conductive bridges, thereby optimizing living comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House projects, the emphasis is on exceptional window panes and insulation. Parameters such as heat transfer rate and R-Value are vital aspects. The U-Factor calculates the rate of heat transfer through a window or door, with lower figures indicating improved insulation. Meanwhile, insulation R-Value calculates insulation's effectiveness in blocking temperature transfer, with increased figures signifying better performance. Our selection of dual and triple-glazing systems employs Low-E glass panes infused with argon, ensuring the maximum power 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 key components in Passive House construction. Our products are crafted to deliver outstanding performance, effectively preventing air leaks and drafts. Pella products undergo thorough testing to exceed industry standards for reducing air infiltration. Additionally, accurate installation is crucial, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the frame of the window and the structure.
