PhiusCon Updates: Agenda is Here, Early Bird Ending Soon, Exhibitor Opportunities

We cannot wait to reunite with the entire passive building community at PhiusCon Oct. 6-8 in Milwaukee! 

We’re thrilled to welcome our international audience to the heart of the Midwest where the need for reliable, efficient and resilient buildings is surging, and Phius projects are popping up across the state. This year’s conference will highlight these local projects while maintaining the wider view of passive building innovations and strategies throughout North America that makes PhiusCon the continent’s premier passive building event.

With the event quickly approaching, we have a few important announcements and updates we wanted to share to keep you in the loop on all things PhiusCon. But before we get into that, here is a brief reminder of the extracurricular activities attendees can expect at PhiusCon 2025:

• Exhibit Hall: A state-of-the-art showcase of top-tier high-performance building manufacturers
• Passive Projects Design Competition Awards Ceremony: Celebrate the year’s most innovative and inspiring Phius Certified projects. (More information on the Design Competition coming soon!)
• PhiusCon After Party: The signature networking event where you’ll make connections that count.
• Local Passive Project Tour: Visit the site of a groundbreaking project pursuing Phius Certification

On to the updates! 

The Agenda Has Arrived

This year’s agenda features more than 40 expert-led sessions across two days of Core Conference programming, offering deep dives into multifamily housing, non-residential projects, mechanical design, QA/QC, ventilation, embodied carbon, policy innovation and more. It also features a day of Pre-Conference introductory sessions and deep-dive workshops. 

We are especially eager to bring attendees a number of sessions focused on post-occupancy data that showcase the performance of Phius buildings in the real world. Here are just a few of the data-driven sessions to put on your radar:

• Vision to Validation: the Payoff of Passive Design: Seven years of performance data on an all-electric Phius Certified home
• Prescriptive Pathways: Lessons from 9 Phius Homes in Minneapolis: Includes post-occupancy insights on affordable housing
• Edgewood and Emerald Hills - Post-occupancy Performance Analysis: Compares utility data from two senior housing projects
• Alley House Phius CORE Certified: Highlights DOE-funded post-occupancy evaluation results from a net-zero duplex.
• IAQ in Passive Building Multifamily – A Post-occupancy Study: Examines air quality in real-life high-performance multifamily buildings.
• Higher Education Passive Building: Compares modeled and actual performance in Pennsylvania’s largest Phius non-res project.
