Windows & Doors for a Passive House in Bozeman

What Is A Passive House

In the realm of green construction,  a Passive House stands out as a beacon of energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. A Passive House isn't just a house; it's a pledge to a specific set of design principles aimed at achieving unsurpassed energy conservation and living ease while minimizing the building's carbon footprint. These principles, established in 2015, are applied to various kinds of structures, including house, multi-family, and business structures. At the center of a Passive House lies a commitment to minimizing power use for heating and cooling. Attaining certification from the coveted Passive House Institute US entails meeting stringent criteria that ensure outstanding efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Essential Attributes of Passive House's Windows & Doors

The Very Best Energy Efficiency

Central to the Passive House Standard is the pursuit of continuous heat retention throughout the building envelope to remove thermal gaps and bridges, thereby enhancing living comfort and energy savings. When it comes to windows and doors for Passive House constructions, the emphasis is on superior window panes and heat retention. Factors such as U-Factor and insulation effectiveness are vital considerations. The U-Value quantifies the thermal transfer rate through a window or door, with lower numbers showing improved insulating properties. Meanwhile, R-Rating quantifies the effectiveness of insulation in resisting temperature transfer, with increased figures signifying better performance. Our range of dual and triple-glazing systems utilizes Low-E glass panes filled with argon, providing the optimal energy savings for Passive House builds.

Impeccable Airtightness

Windows and doors take on a crucial role in the building envelope's integrity, making them critical components in Passive House construction. Our products are designed to deliver outstanding performance, effectively sealing off drafts and leaks. The products we offer undergo rigorous testing to surpass industry standards for air infiltration reduction. Additionally, accurate installation is paramount, ensuring a complete perimeter seal between the window's frame and the structure.
