Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Biloxi

What Is A Passive House

In the realm of eco-friendly building,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of power saving and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a dedication to a unique set of design principles aimed at achieving unsurpassed power saving and living ease while minimizing the house's carbon footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various kinds of structures, including residential, condominium, and office buildings. At the core of a sustainable home lies a focus to minimizing energy consumption for heat and cooling. Attaining approval from the renowned Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure exceptional operation and eco-friendliness.

Essential Attributes of Passive House's Windows & Doors

Superb Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the goal of continuous thermal protection throughout the structure to remove thermal gaps and thermal bridges, thereby enhancing comfort and power efficiency. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the priority is on exceptional glazing and heat retention. Parameters such as U-Factor and R-Value are important considerations. The U-Factor calculates the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower figures indicating superior insulating properties. Meanwhile, R-Value calculates insulation's effectiveness in blocking heat or cold transmission, with increased figures denoting superior efficiency. Our range of two and three-layer glazing employs low-E window panes filled with argon gas, guaranteeing the maximum power efficiency for Passive House builds.

Impeccable Airtightness

Windows and doors play a pivotal role in the overall integrity of the building envelope, making them key components in Passive House design. Our products are crafted to deliver exceptional performance, effectively blocking drafts and leaks. Our products undergo extensive testing to exceed industry standards for air infiltration reduction. Additionally, accurate installation is paramount, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the frame of the window and the building.
