Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Hartford

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of sustainable construction,  a Passive House stands out as a example of power saving and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a building; it's a commitment to a specific set of architectural guidelines aimed at achieving exceptional energy conservation and coziness while minimizing the structure's ecological footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various construction categories, including residential, multi-family, and business structures. At the center of a Passive House lies a dedication to minimizing energy consumption for warming and air conditioning. Attaining approval from the renowned PHIUS entails meeting stringent criteria that ensure outstanding operation and eco-friendliness.

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

Superb Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of continuous insulation throughout the construction to eliminate thermal gaps and bridges, thereby maximizing indoor comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the priority is on exceptional glazing and thermal insulation. Considerations such as U-Value and R-Value are crucial aspects. The heat transfer rate measures the rate of heat transfer through a window or door, with lower values denoting improved insulation. Meanwhile, R-Rating calculates the effectiveness of insulation in resisting thermal transfer, with higher numbers indicating enhanced efficiency. Our range of dual and triple-glazing systems uses low-emissivity glass filled with argon gas, guaranteeing the optimal energy efficiency for Passive House builds.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors take on a essential role in the integrity of the building envelope, making them vital components in Passive House construction. Our products are crafted to deliver exceptional performance, effectively preventing drafts and leaks. Pella products undergo extensive testing to outperform industry standards for reducing air infiltration. Additionally, accurate installation is paramount, ensuring a total seal around the perimeter between the window frame and the wall.
