Stylish, Comfortable, and Eco-Smart: Crafting a Home for Beauty and Sustainability
Home is where my story unfolds, where dreams take flight, and love finds its dwelling
In urban landscapes, buildings emerge as substantial contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, constituting over half of citywide emissions on average, alongside being significant air pollution sources. Governments, investors, and citizens are now exploring ways to align building energy consumption with on-site renewable energy production, striving for a Net Zero future by 2050.
Among the various strategies, adhering to Passive House standards in construction planning emerges as a pivotal approach. While criteria vary based on climate zones, common measures exist to secure a Passive House Certificate. These encompass a robust ventilation strategy, comprehensive thermal insulation, thermal bridge management, airtightness, and strategic window design.
Passive House planning demands stringent standards for windows
Criteria for exterior windows are individually assessed for each characteristic value. This entails evaluating every component, from glazing to installation. Characteristic values can be applied when a manufacturer holds a Passive House Certificate or can calculate typical window values in accordance with EN/ISO standardizations (for EU).
