Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Cheyenne

Understanding A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy efficiency and sustainability. A Passive House isn't just a building; it's a pledge to a specific set of design principles aimed at achieving exceptional energy conservation and comfort while minimizing the building's ecological footprint. These principles, established in the year 2015, are applied to various building types, including house, condominium, and commercial buildings. At the center of a energy-efficient structure lies a focus to minimizing energy consumption for warming and air conditioning. Attaining approval from the coveted Passive House Institute US entails meeting rigorous criteria that ensure outstanding performance and environmental responsibility.

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

Superb Energy Efficiency

Fundamental to the Passive House Standard is the aim of seamless heat retention throughout the building envelope to eradicate thermal gaps and bridges, thereby maximizing comfort and energy efficiency. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the emphasis is on superior glass and thermal insulation. Factors such as heat transfer rate and R-Value are vital aspects. The U-Factor quantifies the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower numbers showing superior thermal resistance. Meanwhile, R-Rating calculates insulation's effectiveness in blocking thermal transfer, with higher values indicating better performance. Our range of two and three-layer glazing uses low-emissivity glass infused with argon, ensuring the best energy savings for Passive House projects.

A Fanatical Level Of Airtightness

Windows and doors take on a pivotal role in the building envelope's integrity, making them key components in Passive House design. Our products are crafted to deliver exceptional performance, effectively blocking air leaks and drafts. Pella products undergo rigorous testing to outperform industry standards for minimizing air infiltration. Additionally, accurate installation is paramount, ensuring a full perimeter seal between the frame of the window and the structure.
