Session 8: It keeps getting better - using Passive House components
Saturday, 11 September 2021
The high quality of the individual components is crucial to the basic principles of passive house construction. The cost efficiency and energy "return" of a Passive House depend heavily on the components used. In Session 8, speakers will present new ways to improve the performance of such components, but also highlight the limitations of how to improve their performance. Topics include both the analysis of commonly used components and materials and the presentation of innovations and new developments in this field.

The first sliding door in the phA+ energy efficiency class – the best there is Certified lift-and-slide doors in the Central European construction style meet regional requirements but are unsuitable as mass-market components for “slide” type openings. A new sliding mechanism and a solution that can be certified in the phA + energy efficiency class have been developed in order to fill this gap.
