EN 12207

[willbish]

Im getting bogged down in details again.

 

The two windows on my (very) short-list are both tested as Class 3 Air tightness on the 4 class EN12207 scale. One of the windows is marketed as Passivhaus but not yet certified by the institute.

 

Im wondering just how much difference will this make to my overall airtightness score. Aiming for <0.6ACH

Has anyone out there with non certified windows achieved top marks on their airtightness test results?

My windows are suitable for passive but not, AFAIK, certified as passive. The air test on my house prior to insulation and boarding was 0.25.

Thanks @vivienz Do you know what they scored on the EN12207 test?

Looking at the supplier website, it's possible that they are certified as they are described as Passiv with a capital p. Not sure, though.  here's a link to the tech section of their website.
