#HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDING ENVELOPE SYSTEMS WINDOWS#

(See Pumpkin Ridge Passive House as one of many Passive House examples built by H&H.) The performance-based certification is straightforward: does the building meet the bar on airtightness, heating and cooling energy demand, and overall energy demand? At Hammer & Hand we typically certify our Passive House projects with the US-based Passive House Institute US (PHIUS), though the German Passivhaus Institut is another good option. Passive House (aka Passivhaus) is the standard bearer of high performance building, achieving revolutionary improvements in building in energy performance. In response, a suite of green building certifications that focus on high performance building have emerged: Today we can accurately model and understand how heat, air, and moisture interact with buildings and building components, and this knowledge – building science – empowers us to revolutionize the performance of buildings in practical, cost-effective, and safe ways. We now have the science to make buildings that are healthier, more comfortable, more durable, and easier on the planet.
