About Passive House

Passive house (or PassivHaus) is a building standard which requires buildings to use very little energy for heating and cooling. Typically, a Passive House uses just 10% of the energy used by an ordinary house. Solar glazing is used to maximise height gain from the sun and because a Passive House is so well insulated and has so little heat-loss that the sun's rays bplus the heat produced by the occupants, electrical appliances and sunlight can build up enough to keep the building warm. Sophisticated heat-transfer ventilation systems are used to provide fresh air and prevent condensation without losing heat while adaptive shading and ventilation sytems plus good design minimises excess heat in the summer.

Installation of Passive House windows is complex should be installed by experienced, trained Passive House installers. If you choose Spectrum for your Passive House project, you can be secure in the knowledge that your windows will be installed by an experienced Passive House installation team.
