Our Stainless Steel Wall Brackets Earn Passive House Certification
Cladding Concepts International is thrilled to announce that our QTB Stainless Steel Wall Brackets by Q-Vent have been officially certified by the Passive House Institute. This certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable building materials.
What Does Passive House Certification Mean?
Passive House certification is a rigorous standard that ensures buildings are highly energy efficient. These buildings are designed to minimize energy consumption for heating and cooling, resulting in a healthier, more comfortable living environment.
The Benefits of Passive House in New York City
New York City, with its bustling urban environment and diverse climate, presents unique challenges for building design. Passive House principles offer several advantages for building projects in the city:
Reduced Energy Costs: Passive House buildings significantly reduce energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills for residents and building owners.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: By minimizing air infiltration and ensuring proper ventilation, Passive House buildings provide healthier, more comfortable living spaces.
Enhanced Thermal Comfort: Passive House designs maintain consistent temperatures throughout the year, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
Resilience to Climate Change: Passive House buildings are better equipped to withstand extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and cold spells.
Reduced Environmental Impact: By reducing energy consumption, Passive House projects contribute to a more sustainable future for New York City.
Thermal Bridging & PIE
We measure the impact of thermal bridges using Percent Insulation Effectiveness (PIE). PIE shows how much cladding attachments reduce insulation effectiveness by creating thermal bridges in the facade. This is important for evaluating and improving the thermal efficiency of cladding systems.
