Passive House recognition
7th February 2017

At the BAU 2017 exhibition in Munich Dr.-Ing. Benjamin Krick, head of the Component Certification working group at the Passive House Institute presented the Passive House official component seal to EDGETECH EUROPE GmbH for the flexible, foam-based Super Spacer spacer systems.

Edgetech Europe Managing Director Joachim Stoss said "As an independent authority, the Passive House Institute provides architects and planners with guidance on all questions relating to energy-efficient and sustainable construction. Therefore, we are very pleased to receive the component seal award following the successful Passive House certification of our Super Spacer warm edge spacers last January."

The Passive House Institute tests and certifies products in terms of their suitability for use in passive houses. At the moment more than 870 certified products are contained in the component database. In this process the Passive House Institute also makes the verified thermal characteristics visible, thus making it possible to predict the future energy performance of a building. All three certified Super Spacer® products exceed the required minimum levels of specific edge resistance for arctic climates and every climate zone lower. Super Spacer Premium was classified in the highest efficiency class of phA+.
