Passive house standard

Windows, doors and curtain walls by heroal are also available with passive house certification. That means heroal systems meet the highest standards in terms of energy efficiency. heroal’s passive house certifications are granted by the independent German Passive House Institute Dr. Wolfgang Feist and the German testing institute ift Rosenheim. All products are tested subject to the same procedure. Since the tests focus on the same criteria all the time, the systems can be compared with each other. Passive house certifications are meant to help architects and planners to select the suitable product and to ensure the functionality of the passive house to be built. With its energy-efficient products, a passive house may save more than 75% heating energy, compared to standard new builds. The installation of windows, doors and curtain walls with passive house certification also helps to make major energy savings when refurbishing or modernizing old buildings.

Minergie standard

In addition to passive house certification, heroal systems are also tested and certified on the basis of the Minergie standard. The Minergie label is a certification for buildings in Switzerland that have been built or refurbished with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. In Switzerland, Minergie and Minergie Plus represent the highest energy standards for buildings, mutually supported by the industry, Swiss cantons and the Swiss confederation. Projects and products with Minergie certification require low energy and, for a large part, are made of renewable resources. The advantages of the Minergie standard are an increased thermal comfort, improved air quality, the maintenance of value due to outstanding quality, reduced energy cost, lower CO2 emissions. The Minergie standard provides transparency for architects and planners regarding the selection of suitable systems for the construction of energy efficient buildings.

heroal roller shutters
Roller shutters to improve energy efficiency

Roller shutters save heating energy and serve as passive air conditioners. In cold nights, the loss of energy is considerably reduced by the air cushion between window and roller shutter. In the summer, automatically controlled roller shutters make it unnecessary to switch on the air conditioning. With closed roller shutters, up to 44 % of energy can be saved at night.
