Ecocor offers two enclosure systems: Ecocor Optima and Ecocor Passiv.
Which is right for you?
Either system can be used for our custom homes and our pre-designed Solsken homes.
Our experience with Passive House construction has given us a deep understanding of the benefits of these high standards for energy-efficiency. When we build a home to Passive House standards, we go one step beyond the already rigorous requirements and use the most sustainable, healthy building products available on the market today. We call these enclosure systems our Ecocor Passiv systems. Depending on your needs, budget and site location, an Ecocor Passiv home, which fully meets all Passive House standards, may be the best option for you.
In some cases, however, clients want an energy-efficient, healthy, comfortable home but do not require a fully-compliant Passive House. Chris Corson, Ecocor’s founder, has devised an enclosure system called Optima to meet the needs of such clients. While the options chosen may or may not meet the criteria for Passive House certification, our Optima enclosure systems utilize our Passive House expertise and panelized technology to hit the “sweet spot” between sustainability, cost and performance.

Viking Window Selection
Ecocor proudly imports the highest quality European windows selected for their quality, beauty, performance, and value.
We researched hundreds of window manufacturers, assessing options throughout Europe over a four-year period. We are excited and honored to be partnering with Viking Windows, based out of Estonia. Viking’s triple glazed windows we use exclusively not only meet the rigorous Passive House Institute guidelines for thermal comfort and offer exceptional performance, but they are also elegant and meticulously hand-crafted from sustainable materials. We offer multiple styles of triple-pane windows and doors. These styles are capable of sealing tight against air infiltration. We also use large fixed windows where appropriate. Ecocor has developed our own innovative installation systems to ensure that your home’s windows and doors will perform at the absolute highest levels.

Viking Door Selection
Ecocor proudly imports the highest quality European doors selected for their quality, beauty, performance, and value.
Doors are often overlooked as a component in Passive homes, but they are essential in maintaining a tight seal. They protect against convection, conduction, and radiation. They also complete thermal insulation continuity and shield the home from the elements by completing the weather-resistant barrier.

The door leaf moves inwards against the gaskets thus providing excellent weather tightness (up to 1 350 Pa rain tightness).
A sleek profile, and options like no sash in the fixed side (panoramic solution) and triple glazing ensure sufficient indoors light and significantly high energy efficiency: U-value 0.72 W/m²K (for standard size 2.0 m x 2.1 m door). Hardware enables active leaf up to 1.5 m wide (thus the total width of the door can be up to 2.92 m); max height of the door is 2.5 m. Aluclad option also available!
Lift and Slide Panorama Patio Door
The Lift and Slide Panorama Patio door offers a broader view and more light. This unit has parallel sliding sashes with fixed glazing as it wraps around the corner.

The Lift and slide patio doors are equipped with a high quality and modern GU hinge system which has a load-bearing capability of 300 kg. The active leaf is located on the inner side of the door assuring functionality for the winter season. The espagnolette and reinforced handle allows for convenient operating and the possibility to close the door in the ventilation position.
The Lift and Slide patio door is available both as wooden and aluminium clad door. Traditional double glazing (Ug = 1,1 W/m2K) or energy efficient triple glazing (aluclad door 52 mm glazing unit Ug = 0.52 W/m2K; timber door 40 mm glazing unit Ug = 0.64 W/m2K) can be used.

Foundations
Contrary to popular belief, Passive House buildings can be built on any type of foundation. Insulated slab-on-grade foundations are usually the most cost effective, but we also offer full foundations, crawl spaces, and foam-free pier foundations, each of which can be detailed for Passive House performance and comfort. Change slides to see all foundations and materials.

Wall Selection
Ecocor Optima
Ecocor’s Optima Walls are airtight and water-resistant. The structural layer is sheathed 1/2″ Huber Zip system and is airtight. Wrapped with a continuous layer of Gutex wood fiberboard insulation on the exterior the Optima wall line is thermal bridge free and vapor open. The Gutex is protected with Pro Clima’s Mento 3000 advanced TEEE membrane that is waterproof to a 32ft water column. A 3/4″ Rainscreen is applied over the membrane to decrease vapor drive toward the house and to allow drainage. Ecocor’s Optima walls are delivered with windows installed in the factory and are flashed and watertight. Ready for trim and siding once erected. We also use large fixed windows where appropriate. Ecocor has developed our own innovative installation systems to ensure that your home’s windows and doors will perform at the absolute highest levels.

Ecocor PassivRoof
Ecocor’s PassivRoof™ is ideal for situations when a sloped cathedral ceiling is desired and parallel chord roof trusses won’t work. Designed with the same parameters as our PassivWall™, the PassivRoof offers the highest performance available in a roof assembly. The PassivRoof has a deep interior service cavity, a well-protected airtight layer and a deep exterior blanket layer. It is covered with our high-performance weather resistive barrier and an integral vent channel. The PassivRoof has connection details which allow fast and easy air-sealing and construction joint insulation after installation. The PassivRoof is carried by either a structural ridge beam or a load-bearing wall, and can be used singly (as a mono-pitch “shed” roof) or be paired to create a gable roof.
