What is Passivhaus?
Passivhaus, also known as Passive House, is a rigorous and internationally recognised building standard for energy efficiency. Requiring minimal energy usage for heating and cooling, Passivhaus builds are shaping the future of sustainable architecture.
At Internorm, we supply quality triple glazed windows to complete your build, as well as airtight doors. Our market leading products help to reduce heat transfer significantly to create comfortable, temperature regulated environments.
Builds that meet this strict criteria are awarded with a Passivhaus certification, which can be applied to both commercial and residential projects. A versatile and modern approach to construction, these sustainable projects meet the highest standards.
Meticulous planning and design are integral to achieving a Passivhaus certification. With the help of Internorm, make that a reality. Find your local Internorm Partner to begin your next project.
If you are an architect, Passivhaus Designer or consultant, why not book our insightful ‘Windows & Doors for Passivhaus’ CPD. Not only is it RIBA accredited, it is also endorsed by the UK Passivhaus Institute. This means that architects will receive 2x credit points from the Passive House Institute for attending the seminar.

What are the 5 Principles of Passive House?
Insulation: Passivhaus builds are super insulated to reduce heat loss.
Airtightness: Constructed to be extremely airtight, these homes ensure optimum ventilation.
High Performance: Triple glazed windows & doors create a stable, temperature regulated environment.
Heat Recovery: Sophisticated ventilation systems supply a stream of fresh air.
Solar Design: Passivhaus buildings incorporate modern solar designs.
What is a MVHR System?
A Passive House Heat Recovery Ventilation (MVHR) system is a mechanical ventilation process designed to supply fresh air to a building while simultaneously extracting stale air. Minimising energy loss, an MVHR system includes a heat exchanger to recover heat from the outgoing air stream and transfer it to the incoming fresh air stream.
Passive Solar Design Explained
Passive solar design is a modern approach to architecture. Harnessing the natural energy of the sun, this approach provides heating, cooling and lighting for maximum gain. Passivhaus builds are often positioned to achieve the best exposure to the sun, with the largest surface areas facing south. Large windows, as well as elongated spaces, mean sunlight is captured and utilised. The materials used help to absorb and store heat too.
Passivhaus Certified
At Internorm, we are proud to be a founding and current Patron Member of the UK Passivhaus Trust.

What Qualifies as a Passivhaus?
In essence, a Passivhaus has to comply with the 5 principles outlined above. These builds have to achieve thermal excellence through a super insulated structure with triple glazed windows and doors. With minimal thermal bridges and mechanical ventilation, Passive Homes generate the majority of their power through innovative solar designs. Consequently, they are modern, sustainable places to either live or work.

As well as focusing on energy efficiency, my wife and I liked the modern look and wanted large triple glazing to make the most of the sea views as well as the garden, merging the indoor with the outdoor living space.

It is always worth considering the external appearance of a house, which is quite often overlooked. A house has a roof, walls and windows and the windows make up a third of the property. Think about everything in detail.

I am a really light sleeper and the windows have made a huge difference. I am now having the best sleep I have ever had in any house that I have lived in because it is so quiet!
Mrs Glassick

We liked the very high standard of construction, the rigidity of the frames and windows and particularly the ease with which these heavy sliding windows moved with the touch of a finger.
