A guide to finding and navigating through the wealth of information available in the Phius Resource Library
One of our main goals at Phius is to provide professionals with the tools they need to design and build high-performance passive buildings. Many of these tools can be found in the Resource Library on the Phius website. To help you take full advantage of all the webinars, tutorials, calculators, blogs, and more available in the Resource Library, we’ve put together a brief rundown that answers some key questions about it.
As the old saying goes, a tool is only as good as your ability to locate it. We would first and foremost recommend bookmarking the direct link to the Resource Library for easy access. Otherwise, when you visit the Phius website homepage, simply click the “Resources” button near the top of the page (which will display the drop down menu shown in the screenshot below) and click the “Resource Library” button.
If you are looking for something specific, you can also click the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner of the homepage, which will bring up a search bar that can be used to search our entire website, including the Resource Library.
For starters, this blog! The Resource Library is home to all our Phius blogs, in addition to:
If you’re having trouble finding a tool or guide or calculator for your Phius project, you will likely find it in the Phius Resource Library.
In addition to the search function that allows you to filter by specific keywords, there are three additional filters built into the Resource Library. You can filter based on:
The Topics filter allows you to narrow your search based on keywords such as “Mechanical Systems” or “Energy Modeling”. Each item in the Resource Library is associated with at least one topic.
The Resource Type filter can help narrow your search based on the format of the resource you’re looking for, such as blog posts, webinars, presentations etc.
The filter that may be of the most interest to our Phius Certified Professionals is the CEU Credits filter. This filter will display content based on the number of Phius CEUs associated with it. It’s always a good time to earn CEUs!
As a result of the complete overhaul of the back- and front-end of our website and associated databases in early 2022, all of our resources were moved to new domains. This unfortunately means that any bookmarked links to resources on the old website will no longer function.
We understand this can be frustrating, but we hope the streamlined navigation on the new website – and Resource Library specifically – will allow for the quick restoration of any bookmarks that were lost.
The Phius website hosts a seemingly never-ending wealth of design, building, modeling and scientific knowledge. We want to make this knowledge as accessible to the masses as possible, which is why we overhauled our website, created the Resource Library, and penned this blog.
We hope this guide is useful as you utilize the Resource Library to continue creating healthy buildings across the country and beyond!
