Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Jefferson City

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of green 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 commitment to a special set of building standards aimed at achieving unsurpassed energy efficiency and comfort while minimizing the building's environmental impact. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various construction categories, including residential, apartment, and business structures. At the center of a Passive House lies a focus to minimizing energy consumption for heat and cool air. Attaining certification from the renowned PHIUS entails meeting stringent criteria that ensure superior performance and environmental responsibility.

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

The Very Best Energy Efficiency

Central to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of continuous thermal protection throughout the construction to eradicate thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby optimizing indoor comfort and power efficiency. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the emphasis is on high-quality glass and heat retention. Considerations such as heat transfer rate and insulation effectiveness are vital elements. The U-Value calculates the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower values denoting better thermal resistance. Meanwhile, R-Value measures the effectiveness of insulation in resisting heat or cold transmission, with increased figures signifying better effectiveness. Our selection of dual and triple-glazing systems uses Low-E glass panes infused with argon gas, providing the best energy efficiency for Passive House builds.

Impeccable Airtightness

Windows and doors play a crucial role in the building envelope's integrity, making them key components in Passive House design. Our products are crafted to deliver superior performance, effectively blocking drafts and leaks. The products we offer undergo extensive testing to exceed industry standards for air infiltration reduction. Additionally, correct installation is paramount, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the window frame and the wall.
