We recently hosted a component spotlight on Passive House Accelerator.

Passive House Accelerator is a digital collaborative platform that is a catalyst for zero carbon building; it’s casual, welcoming and all sorts of geeky fun! (If you haven’t joined one of their many live events, we highly recommend that you do – you’ll be instantly inspired to join the revolution of better built buildings.)

Mike Cairns, business development manager at Innotech Windows + Doors, hosted a component spotlight entitled “Triple-Pane Windows: A Look Beyond U-Values”. In our quest for ultra-low U-values, we’ve found that we’ve lost sight of many other critical performance metrics when evaluating and specifying windows and doors for high-performance buildings. “Mike also dispels several myths about high-performance windows and reexamines the belief that triple-pane fenestration systems are always the best option for high-performance buildings. He makes a convincing case that there are a number of factors that can influence enclosure performance and project goals that need to be considered.”

We invite you to read the recap of the event here; the written recap includes links to the slide show. Or you’re invited to watch the presentation now available on-demand:

 

Thank you to Passive House Accelerator and their great audience for the opportunity to chat about triple pane windows!
