​What Is a Passive Home?
A passive home is a highly energy-efficient structure that produces as much energy as it uses within an average climate year. Here is a 90-second video describing the standards of a passive home. 
 
Why Are Windows an Important Part of Passive Homes?
Your home's thermal performance is only as good as your windows. You can spend a lot of time planning and building highly-insulated walls but not reach passive energy with your house because of the quality of your windows. On average, windows are responsible for losing 25%-30% of your heating and cooling energy use. That's a big difference – especially in a passive home. So how can you plug that massive hole in the wall and save energy?
 
Advantage of Passive house certified windows in your home.
  • Thermal Comfort – cut out the "pockets of cold air" that develops with lower efficiency windows.
  • No temperature swings inside the home.
  • Passive House windows don't drop below 62 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.
  • The window's efficient insulating properties make it less necessary to have heaters near your window area, adding space and design freedom.

We recommend Pella's Reserve windows, they are certified by Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS) and available in a variety of styles.
