Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Scottsdale

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of eco-friendly building,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy efficiency and eco-consciousness. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a commitment to a special set of building standards aimed at achieving exceptional energy efficiency 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, apartment, and commercial buildings. At the center of a sustainable home lies a dedication to minimizing energy usage for warming and cool air. Attaining accreditation from the prestigious Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting stringent criteria that ensure outstanding efficiency and environmental responsibility.

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

Unparalleled Energy Efficiency

Central to the Passive House Standard is the goal of seamless thermal protection throughout the construction to remove thermal gaps and bridges, thereby enhancing comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the emphasis is on high-quality window panes and thermal insulation. Parameters such as U-Value and R-Rating are vital considerations. The U-Value calculates the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower numbers denoting superior insulating properties. Meanwhile, insulation R-Value quantifies insulation's effectiveness in resisting heat or cold transmission, with higher values denoting better performance. Our collection of double and triple-pane systems utilizes low-E window panes filled with argon gas, providing the maximum power efficiency for Passive House projects.

Impeccable Airtightness

Windows and doors provide a essential role in the integrity of the building envelope, making them key components in the design of Passive Houses. Our products are designed to deliver superior performance, effectively preventing drafts and leaks. Pella products undergo thorough testing to exceed industry standards for minimizing air infiltration. Additionally, correct installation is essential, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the window frame and the building.
