Achieving the passive house standard can make a major contribution to climate protection and saving fossil fuels in building construction. The passive house building style is constantly growing in popularity worldwide.
The passive house standard places high requirements on the quality and energy efficiency of buildings. To achieve the standard, appropriate product solutions are needed to prevent thermal bridges, for example. The Passive House Institute energetically examines high-quality building products and classifies them as "Certified Passive House Components" if they meet the requirements. In this way, the planner is supported when choosing the appropriate solutions.
In the field of thermal separation of balconies, façades, columns and walls, Schöck offers solutions that have been classified by the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt as Certified Passive House Components.
To be able to evaluate components based on their energy efficiency, manufacturer information alone is often insufficient. Passive House certification of the products ensures that the passive house component requirements have been met.
In accordance with the EU Directive issued on July 8, 2010, all new buildings in the EU since 2021 must be constructed as low-energy buildings. Passive House certificates simplify the selection of suitable solutions.
