About
NZP Fenestration is a Quebec-based manufacturer of energy-efficient, PassivHaus-certified doors and windows.
We are proud to offer a diverse and durable range of products, using only superior-quality materials.
The performance of our tilt-and-turn doors and windows allows for significant energy savings while providing exceptional thermal comfort, all while being environmentally friendly.
As pioneers of the PassivHaus movement in Quebec, we have always manufactured products that exceed environmental standards: the doors and windows we produce today already surpass the standards that will be required in Canada by 2030.
Environmental mission and strategy (ESG)
Operating in the sustainable construction sector for nearly 15 years, we now enjoy a strong reputation. Offering a diverse and durable range of products, we use only top-quality materials.
From the very beginning, the driving force behind our daily commitment has been the Passive House, or PassivHaus. A concept born in Germany in 1991, PassivHaus reduces energy consumption by nearly 80%.
We are proud to participate daily in the growing eco-housing movement in North America.
The Passive House or PassivHaus: Efficient, durable, and responsible! The Passive House (PassivHaus) reduces energy consumption by nearly 80%.
An initiative originating from Germany
A passive house is a home with very low energy consumption per square meter. This low consumption is compensated by solar gains or internal heat sources (electrical equipment and occupants).
It also makes your home comfortable and has no harmful impact on health and the environment.
The passive house uses ultra-efficient construction products to consume minimal energy, including windows, heat recovery systems, radiant heating and cooling floors, thermal insulation, and exterior solar protection.
According to a Quebec study, you can save 83% of heating energy in a so-called passive house. The PassivHaus standard stipulates that heating consumption in such a house must not exceed 15 kilowatt-hours per square meter (kWh/m²) of living space per year (1.4 kWh/ft² per year), which amounts to 2,370 kWh for a 158 m² (1,700 ft²) house.
That's 83% less than a Quebec house of the same size, which, according to Hydro-Québec, consumes an average of 14,035 kWh/year for heating.
