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 fa\u00e7ade systems. We covered the key principles behind Passive House and how high-performance aluminium fa\u00e7ade systems can help meet the strict requirements of thermal efficiency and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key topics we discussed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 What is Passive House, the three tiers: Classic, Plus & Premium
\u2705 Uf, Ug & Uw values and why frame-to-glass ratios matter
\u2705 Thermal bridging & airtightness: the real-world challenges
\u2705 Importance of correct installation for compliance
\u2705 Real case studies including premium-level projects like Southwest College
\u2705 Our role as System suppliers in guiding specifications, technical support, thermal analysis, and certification support<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the industry continues to push for higher building performance and sustainability, these conversations are more important than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
