Therefore a passivhaus construction
|
In the passivhaus standard, it is called a thermal bridge when its linear loss coefficient exceeds . w/mK. The golden standard for the construction of efficient passive houses is to pay special attention in the project phase to the constructive resolution of possible thermal bridges and their proper execution in pillars, slabs, and windows. blinds, doors, balconies, continuity from one façade to another... absolutely everything. passive-house-thermal-bridgesSource Passive House Institute The PHPP (Passive House Planning Package) computer program is a support that was created by the Passive House Institute to know the energy balances of a building, quickly, easily and reliably.
They are spreadsheets aimed at architects and designers that are used to calculate the values (U) of the envelope, the energy balances and show the comfort ventilation rate that is needed. As new USA Phone Number List versions of this program appear, more facilities and more calculations are added, facilitating the work in the construction of a passive house . There are several versions of the PHPP program that include video tutorials in Spanish, PHPP (the last known to date on the PEP platform) has a price of € if you are not a member of the passivhaus platform, € if you are a member, and € for students.
Elimination of Thermal Bridges Passive houses avoid thermal bridges from their planning phase, structuring which will be the most problematic possible sites in the envelope, as explained in the previous section. The installation is very important to avoid thermal bridges in the first instance Not disrupting the insulation layer Use material with higher thermal resistance if the insulation layer is interrupted Take care of the joints between construction elements A special window for passive houses , no matter how good it is, will not function ideally if it has been installed incorrectly, forming thermal bridges , for example, in the jambs, hoods (blind boxes) and sills.
