Policy Work

Affecting policy change is a key component to making Phius the mainstream building standard.

Policies that Promote the Construction of Phius Projects

Cost Effectiveness

Financial incentives generally provide funds to encourage developers to build to the Phius standard.

QAPs

QAPs provide funding as part of a state's Low Income Housing Tax Credit allocation for the construction of low-income multifamily projects. Phius should be part of every state's QAP.

The Standard

The ultimate goal is to establish Phius as part of the energy code in every state and municipality, so Phius becomes the minimum standard.

Building Better

Phius focuses on policies that promote as well as facilitate the construction of single-family dwellings, multifamily apartments and commercial buildings that achieve a deep level of energy efficiency. Projects that meet the Phius standards (Phius CORE and Phius ZERO) not only reduce energy use (40-60% below similar projects built to the latest energy code) but also result in more resilient buildings that promote the health of their inhabitants.
