Worldwide, the market for highly energy efficient buildings is growing rapidly, and with it the need for reliable, performing components. But often, the requirements as well as the options to reach them are unclear and some producers might claim results that they cannot guarantee in the end.
The Passive House Institute certifies highly energy efficient components according to international criteria in order to meet comfort and indoor air quality criteria. In the certification process, PHI offers consultations for manufacturers to meet this criteria. The output is reliable data for input in the PHPP and validated energy balance tools.
