Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Gilbert

What Is A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy conservation and environmental responsibility. A Passive House isn't just a structure; it's a dedication to a special set of architectural guidelines aimed at achieving unsurpassed power saving and living ease while minimizing the building's environmental impact. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various kinds of structures, including residential, apartment, and commercial buildings. At the heart of a energy-efficient structure lies a dedication to minimizing energy usage for warming and cooling. Attaining approval from the renowned PHIUS entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure outstanding efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Important Characteristics Passive House's Windows & Doors

Superb Energy Efficiency

Essential to the Passive House Standard is the goal of uninterrupted thermal protection throughout the structure to eradicate thermal gaps and conductive bridges, thereby maximizing comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House projects, the priority is on superior glass and insulation. Considerations such as heat transfer rate and R-Rating are crucial considerations. The U-Value measures the rate of heat transfer through a window or door, with lower numbers indicating improved insulation. Meanwhile, insulation R-Value measures the insulating capability in blocking temperature transfer, with higher values indicating better efficiency. Our collection of double and triple-pane systems utilizes low-emissivity glass containing argon gas, providing the best energy efficiency for energy-efficient constructions.

Impeccable Airtightness

Windows and doors take on a pivotal role in the building envelope's integrity, making them key components in Passive House design. Our products are engineered to deliver outstanding performance, effectively preventing air leaks and drafts. The products we offer undergo extensive testing to outperform industry standards for reducing air infiltration. Additionally, accurate installation is essential, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the window frame and the structure.
