Passive House Institute | iPHA certification is widely recognised as one of the most rigorous quality assurance processes in the built-environment sector. Projects which are certified undergo stringent assessment to verify that they meet the Passive House Institute’s demanding standards for energy efficiency, airtightness and elimination of thermal bridging.
For balcony connections in particular, reducing thermal bridges is essential, as these weak points can lead to increased heat loss, colder internal surface temperatures, reduced comfort and a heightened risk of condensation or mould. Modular balconies typically require less thermal bridging than concrete balconies due to smaller connections to the building structure meaning the surface area is significantly reduced.
When these principles are applied correctly, the result is a balcony detail that protects the building’s energy retention, enhances comfort for residents and supports the long-term affordability Passive House is known for.
