Thicker IGUs Enable a New Path to Passive House

This is an extended version of the presentation given on May 10th, 2023, at the Passive House Canada Conference in Hamilton, ON by Greg Clarahan, President of LiteZone Glass Inc. New thicker insulating glass units (IGUs) make possible very high window insulating values. Thicker LiteZone® IGUs can achieve the Passive House Institute's (PHI) arctic and cold climate requirements with high solar heat gain IGUs. Alternately PHI cold climate requirements can be achieved using LiteZone® IGUs with ultra high insulating values and very low solar heat gain coefficients to minimize energy requirements year-round, without additional costs to control overheating in the summer. This technical presentation explains why LiteZone® embraces thicker IGUs for ultra high performance and how thicker IGUs can be installed in a wall without traditional frames to reduce costs and thermal transmission while achieving an attractive minimalistic aesthetic.
