Description
Timberframe with facing shell of aluminum. Insulation of extruded polystyrol. Pane thickness: 49 mm
(4.5/18/4/18/4.5), Rebate depth: 16 mm.
Explanation
The window U-values were calculated for the test window size of 1.23 m × 1.48 m with Ug = 0.70 W/(m2 K).
If a higher quality glazing is used, the window U-values will improve as follows:
Transparent building components are classified into efficiency classes depending on the heat losses
through the opaque part. The frame U-Values, frame widths, thermal bridges at the glazing edge, and
the glazing edge lengths are included in these heat losses. A more detailed report of the calculations
performed in the context of certification is available from the manufacturer.
The Passive House Institute has defined international component criteria for seven climate zones. In
principle, components which have been certified for climate zones with higher requirements may also
be used in climates with less stringent requirements. In a particular climate zone it may make sense
to use a component of a higher thermal quality which has been certified for a climate zone with more
stringent requirements.
