Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Tallahassee

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a symbol of energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. A Passive House isn't just a building; it's a commitment to a unique set of building standards aimed at achieving unparalleled energy conservation and coziness while minimizing the building's carbon footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various kinds of structures, including home, multi-family, and business structures. At the heart of a Passive House lies a focus to minimizing energy consumption for heating and cool air. Attaining approval from the coveted Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure superior performance and eco-friendliness.

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

Superb Energy Efficiency

Central to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of continuous heat retention throughout the construction to eradicate thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby maximizing comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for energy-efficient projects, the emphasis is on superior glazing and insulation. Parameters such as U-Value and R-Value are crucial aspects. The U-Factor quantifies the rate of heat transfer through a window or door, with lower numbers indicating better thermal resistance. Meanwhile, R-Rating quantifies the insulating capability in resisting heat or cold transmission, with higher values signifying superior performance. Our selection of double and triple-pane systems uses Low-E glass panes filled with inert gas, providing the best energy savings for Passive House builds.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors provide a crucial role in the overall integrity of the building envelope, making them vital components in the design of Passive Houses. Our products are crafted to deliver superior performance, effectively preventing drafts and leaks. Our products undergo rigorous testing to exceed industry standards for air infiltration reduction. Additionally, proper installation is paramount, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the window frame and the building.
