Passivhaus
Passive House
A rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, reducing its ecological footprint. It results in buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling.
Passive House Systems
RAICO Bautechnik was the first German system house to have their curtainwall system certified by the Passive House Institute Dr. Feist Darmstadt in 1999. RAICO has a complete suite of PHI certified systems, which enables integrated design on complex projects with various curtainwall, skylight, window &door elements:
- THERM+ Curtainwall in Aluminum, Steel and Timber
- THERM+ Skylights in Aluminum, Steel and Timber
- FRAME+ 90 Windows, Operable Vents, Window wall and Terrace Doors (Tilt & Turn/ Tilt & Slide)
- FRAME+ 120 Operable roof light
- FRAME+ 75 Swing door (with insulated solid panel)
The complete curtainwall system THERM+ is certified according to the newest criteria by Passive-House Institute Dr. Wolfgang Feist. The comfort criterion in passive house of Ucw = 0.80 W/(m2K) is fulfilled by the mullion-transom curtainwall systems THERM+ A-V and THERM+ S-I , as well as by THERM+ H-V. All certifications consider the influence of screwing using RAICO’s standard pressure plate screws and RAICO’s special glass carriers.
