Best Passive House Glass in the Industry
Passive House projects require windows with a unique combination of low U-values and high SHGC
(Solar Heat Gain Coefficient). It is difficult to manufacture insulated glass assemblies that
are both low in thermal transfer and high in solar heat gain. Our CLIMATOP MAX glass offers a
U-value of 0.088 BTU/(hr-sf-F) and SHGC of 0.60, by far the best Passive House combination in the industry.
Passive House Glass Selection

| CLIMATOP ONE | 0.088 | 0.40 | 0.58 | R-11 |
| CLIMATOP ONE /w Krypton | 0.070 | 0.40 | 0.58 | R-14 |
| CLIMATOP ULTRA N | 0.105 | 0.50 | 0.71 | R-10 |
| CLIMATOP ULTRA N /w Krypton | 0.088 | 0.50 | 0.71 | R-11 |
| CLIMATOP MAX | 0.105 | 0.60 | 0.74 | R-10 |
| CLIMATOP MAX /w Krypton | 0.088 | 0.60 | 0.74 | R-11 |
| CLIMATOP LUX | 0.123 | 0.62 | 0.73 | R-8 |
| CLIMATOP LUX /w Krypton | 0.105 | 0.62 | 0.73 | R-10 |
| NOTE: Listed insulated glass options are "all glass" assemblies. Due to warranty concerns we do not use suspended film assemblies. The middle pane is always made of glass. | ||||
Schuco SI82+ U-PVC Tilt-Turn Windows and Doors
|
Schuco was one of the first PVC manufacturers to secure the Passivhaus certification. Most PVC windows require steel reinforcement
members for larger sizes. These steel members are responsible for significant thermal bridging inside the frame.
The SI82+ profile extrusions include vertical aluminum stiffeners, minimizing thermal bridging and providing for superior frame U-values of U(frame)=0.156 BTU/(hr-sf-F) (SI82+ profile) and U(frame)=0.132 BTU/(hr-sf-F) (SI82+PHI profile). |
Key Features of Schuco Tilt-Turn Windows:
- Profile depth of 82mm.
- 8-chamber profile system with excellent insulation properties.
- Available in a variety of simulated wood and solid color finishes.
- The one-handle operation allows windows to tilt in for safe and secure ventilation, or turn in or easy cleaning.
- Multi-point locking hardware for excellent air tightness and burglar resistance.
- Easy installation and smooth operation due to fully adjustable sash hardware.
- Superior sash strength suitable for heavy glass assemblies in extra large openings.
- A selection of handle/hinge styles and finishes.
- Consistent sash profiles for both windows and patio doors providing for unified architectural sightlines.
- Full range of triple pane glazing options up to 1.73in thick.
- Insect screens mounted on the exterior.
- Custom sizes and custom designs, including curved profules and true French casements.
- Extra large sash sizes.
- Schuco window profiles and hardware are made of 100% recyclable components.
Makrowin 88G2 Passive House Wood Windows and Doors
 |
As the most recent addition to our Passive House fenestration offering, the 88G2 window represents the state-of the art in engineered wood frame technology. This window was recently certified at the Darmstadt Passivhaus Institute achieving U(frame)=0.75 W/(m2K) [U=0.13 BTU/(hr-sf-F)]. At 88mm thick, this window technology represents the thinest PHI-certified wood window design. The windows are manufactured with factory applied finish available in more than 20 stain colors. |
Schuco FW50+.SI and FW60+.SI Passivhaus Curtain Wall System
 |
As a World-wide leader in curtain wall systems, Schuco was the first manufacturer to secure the Passivhaus certification for an aluminum curtain wall system. The newly developed SI (Super Insulation) versions of the FW 50+ and FW 60+ aluminium mullion/transom constructions impress with their trend-setting system details. The new type of isolator design uses innovative materials to reduce energy losses to a minimum. Inward-facing reflective surfaces on the pressure plates also contribute to the outstanding Uf value of up to 0.78 W/(m2K), including screw factor. The system achieves this value for the passive house-certified version with a glazing thickness of 48 mm. |
 |
As part of certification by the PHI, the system met the passive house comfort criterion of Ucw = 0.80 W/(m2K) and was certified as fulfilling the passive house standard with outstanding thermal insulation. This value was calculated and certified by the PHI in accordance with the latest criteria for certifying façade systems, using triple insulating glazing (Ug = 0.70 W/(m2K)) with a façade module of 1.20 m x 2.50 m. In addition to the effects of the pressure plate fixings, the impact of the glazing supports has also been taken into account for the first time.
