Neue Online-Datenbank zeigt Passivhaus-Komponenten im Überblick

The sco­pe for crea­ti­ve de­sign in the plan­ning of a Pas­si­ve Hou­se buil­ding is gro­wing. Over 600 high­ly ener­gy-ef­fi­cient pro­ducts can be found in the new­ly laun­ched on­li­ne da­ta­ba­se. A sui­ta­ble so­lu­ti­on is thus pos­si­ble for vir­tual­ly eve­ry ar­chi­tec­tu­ral chal­len­ge. From the start si­te, an il­lus­tra­ti­on of a hou­se fa­ci­li­ta­tes the se­lec­ti­on of the de­si­red ca­te­go­ry. The re­spec­ti­ve com­ponents can then be sor­ted ac­cor­ding to dif­fe­rent cri­te­ria. In­di­vi­du­al de­pic­ti­ons with gra­phs and key cha­rac­te­ri­stic va­lues pro­vi­de in­for­ma­ti­on at a glan­ce. The full in­for­ma­ti­on re­la­ting to ener­gy-re­le­vant cha­rac­te­ri­stics can be found in the cor­re­spon­ding Pas­si­ve Hou­se cer­ti­fi­ca­tes. Links to ma­nu­fac­tur­ers ma­ke it ea­sy to con­tact them di­rect­ly.
    
"When con­si­de­ring the li­fe cy­cle costs, Cer­ti­fied Pas­si­ve Hou­se Com­ponents are al­most al­ways the best choi­ce, both for new builds and for re­tro­fits,” says Dr. Wolf­gang Feist, Di­rec­tor of the Pas­si­ve Hou­se In­sti­tu­te in Darm­stadt, Ger­ma­ny. "The qua­li­ty-proofed pro­ducts pro­vi­de re­lia­b­ly high ener­gy sa­vings – and with the new da­ta­ba­se, plan­ners and buil­ding ow­ners can ea­si­ly gain an over­view of the exis­ting pos­si­bi­li­ties".

As an in­de­pen­dent bo­dy, the in­ter­na­tio­nal Pas­si­ve Hou­se In­sti­tu­te tests and cer­ti­fies pro­ducts. All cer­ti­fied com­ponents ha­ve be­en ex­ami­ned ac­cor­ding to uni­form cri­te­ria and are com­pa­ra­ble with re­fe­rence to their ener­gy-re­le­vant cha­rac­te­ri­stic va­lues. Con­se­quent­ly, the qua­li­ty se­al of­fers plan­ning re­lia­bi­li­ty to buil­ding ow­ners and ar­chi­tects. The use of cer­ti­fied pro­ducts al­so con­tri­bu­tes to the fault-free func­tio­ning of a Pas­si­ve Hou­se buil­ding. At the In­ter­na­tio­nal Pas­si­ve Hou­se Con­fe­rence in Darm­stadt, Ger­ma­ny, ma­ny ex­amp­les of Pas­si­ve Hou­se com­ponents will be pre­sen­ted from 22 to 23 April at an ac­com­pa­ny­ing tra­de ex­hi­bi­ti­on.
