Window of Opportunity: Leveraging Passive House windows in commercial & residential buildings

September 28, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

As the demand for enhanced building energy performance continues to rise across North America, the Passive House standard is gaining significant traction. For those new to this rigorous standard, it can appear complex—especially when it comes to integrating manufactured components like windows. However, understanding window configuration and calculations for Passive House projects doesn’t have to be intimidating.

This session delves into the Passive House approach to windows, offering a concise overview of the building science principles behind the standard, the metrics used to measure its performance, and its practical validation in real-world applications. Additionally, it highlights the advantages Passive House windows provide to building occupants.

By examining various window materials and configurations, this presentation showcases pathways to achieving the Passive House standard and identifies strategies to optimize costs while maintaining high-performance fenestration.
