Opaque Envelope

Opaque building envelope components play a fundamental role in the energy efficiency, comfort, and durability of a building. To facilitate the design of both new buildings and high-performance retrofits, the Passive House Institute certifies construction systems, fixing elements, and connection solutions for roofs, façades, and ground-contacting floors. These systems provide technically verified solutions that reduce uncertainty during the design and specification process, facilitating the integration of high-performance components into Passive House and EnerPHit projects. All certified systems have been assessed against stringent criteria for energy efficiency, thermal comfort, hygiene, and structural reliability, providing a reliable basis for the construction of high-performance buildings.
