Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Chandler

The Definition Of A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a example of energy efficiency and eco-consciousness. A Passive House isn't just a structure; it's a dedication to a specific set of design principles aimed at achieving unparalleled energy efficiency and living ease while minimizing the building's environmental impact. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various construction categories, including home, multi-family, and office buildings. At the core of a Passive House lies a commitment to minimizing energy consumption for warming and air conditioning. Attaining accreditation from the prestigious Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting stringent criteria that ensure exceptional efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Important Characteristics Passive House's Windows & Doors

Unparalleled Energy Efficiency

Essential to the Passive House Standard is the goal of uninterrupted heat retention throughout the construction to eliminate thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby optimizing living comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the focus is on high-quality glazing and heat retention. Considerations such as U-Factor and R-Rating are important considerations. The heat transfer rate measures the rate of heat transfer through a window or door, with lower values showing improved insulation. Meanwhile, R-Rating calculates the insulating capability in preventing heat or cold transmission, with increased figures indicating enhanced performance. Our collection of dual and triple-glazing systems utilizes low-E window panes containing argon gas, guaranteeing the maximum power efficiency for energy-efficient constructions.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors provide a essential role in the overall integrity of the building envelope, making them key components in the design of Passive Houses. Our products are crafted to deliver exceptional performance, effectively preventing air leaks and drafts. Pella products undergo rigorous testing to outperform industry standards for reducing air infiltration. Additionally, proper installation is essential, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the frame of the window and the wall.
