Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Lincoln

What Is A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a symbol of energy conservation and environmental responsibility. A Passive House isn't just a building; it's a dedication to a specific set of design principles aimed at achieving unsurpassed power saving and living ease while minimizing the structure's ecological footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various kinds of structures, including house, multi-family, and business structures. At the core of a energy-efficient structure lies a focus to minimizing energy consumption for heating and cooling. Attaining certification from the coveted PHIUS entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure outstanding efficiency and sustainability.

Essential Attributes of Passive House's Windows & Doors

Superb Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of uninterrupted heat retention throughout the structure to remove thermal gaps and bridges, thereby maximizing indoor comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for energy-efficient projects, the emphasis is on high-quality glazing and thermal insulation. Factors such as U-Value and R-Rating are crucial aspects. The U-Value quantifies the rate of heat transfer through a window or door, with lower values showing improved thermal resistance. Meanwhile, R-Value measures the effectiveness of insulation in resisting thermal transfer, with higher values signifying better effectiveness. Our range of two and three-layer glazing utilizes low-emissivity glass infused with argon gas, providing the best power efficiency for Passive House projects.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors play a essential role in the overall integrity of the building envelope, making them critical components in Passive House design. Our products are designed to deliver superior performance, effectively preventing drafts and leaks. Pella products undergo rigorous testing to outperform industry standards for reducing air infiltration. Additionally, accurate installation is paramount, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the window's frame and the building.
