Passive Building: A Better Way to Zero

The substantial energy savings provided by applying passive house principles and certifying buildings to the Phius standard will play a critical role in the quest to eliminate carbon emissions from our buildings.

The Zero-Energy Revolution

The Phius standard is designed to scale for all types and sizes of buildings.

Single-Family

The concept of passive building began with single-family homes, so we at Phius have been certifying them for more than a decade.

Schools

Buildings constructed to Phius standards are among the safest and most resilient in the world, so why wouldn't we want schools to be built this way?
