Reduce your carbon footprint with Passive House May 28, 2024

Reduce carbon emissions with Passive House? Yes, you can! 

Did you know that buildings account for more than one third of global greenhouse gas emissions, with the majority coming from heating and cooling and electricity use?

Passivhaus aims to reduce the need for these inputs while maintaining a high level of comfort. People often think that the Passive House approach is only for residential construction. But that’s a misconception.

Passivhaus isn’t just for residential builders. In fact, “Haus” comes from the German word for “building.”

The approach has been successfully implemented in school, hospital, office and apartment projects in the UK and France.

In combination with green building materials and renewable energy sources, Passivhaus has tremendous potential to improve the sustainability performance of the construction industry.

At Isothermic, we decided to be part of the solution by creating the Passive House Series, a collection of doors and windows that lead the industry for performance in North America.
