ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS IN PASSIVE HOUSES
Windows, despite their large glass area, can reduce heat loss and also provide opportunities to gain heat through solar radiation.
What should windows designed for passive houses be? Only three-pane windows with high thermal insulation can meet the very difficult requirements. The window profile must have a very warm construction. The edges of the glass should be thermally optimized. Passive window installation is different from standard “foam installation”. Passive window installation should be carried out using special materials designed for energy-efficient construction by professionals trained in this field.
