Exploring Passive House Design & Aluminium Façade Systems

Thanks to everyone who joined our recent online CPD session. It was great to connect with more than 75 professionals from our UK-wide fabricator network, highlighting the growing interest in Passive House design and high-performance façade systems. We covered the key principles behind Passive House and how high-performance aluminium façade systems can help meet the strict requirements of thermal efficiency and sustainability.

Key topics we discussed:

✅ What is Passive House, the three tiers: Classic, Plus & Premium
✅ Uf, Ug & Uw values and why frame-to-glass ratios matter
✅ Thermal bridging & airtightness: the real-world challenges
✅ Importance of correct installation for compliance
✅ Real case studies including premium-level projects like Southwest College
✅ Our role as System suppliers in guiding specifications, technical support, thermal analysis, and certification support

As the industry continues to push for higher building performance and sustainability, these conversations are more important than ever.
