As the focus on building energy performance continues to grow in many jurisdictions across North America, the interest in the Passive House standard is growing as well. For the uninitiated, this standard can seem daunting, especially when it comes to incorporating manufactured components, such as windows. But window configuration and calculations in Passive House projects dont have to be overwhelming.
Through a review of window materials and configurations, this presentation outlines options for meeting the Passive House standard, as well as opportunities to cost-optimize high-performance fenestration.
1. Understand the impacts of windows on the overall energy performance of the building envelope
2. Review the Passive House approach to building design and core tenets of Passive House’s window strategy
3. Review the Passive House method for calculating window thermal performance and key factors of high-performance window designs
