Translating Phius: Building Science & Climate-Specific Design in China’s Zero-Carbon Transition

China’s construction sector is undergoing a massive shift. The era of high-volume "speed building" has ended, replaced by strict, top-down government mandates to hit Carbon Peak by 2030 and absolute Carbon Neutrality by 2060. But as the world’s largest market rushes to comply, developers are running into a critical building science bottleneck. They are attempting to buy their way to zero-carbon with world-class active hardware—solar arrays, advanced HVAC, and massive municipal district heating upgrades—while completely missing the passive architectural framework needed to retain that energy. Join local architect and CPHC Iverson Yu as he shares fresh insights from his recent field research in China. He will unpack why rigid European standards have struggled in China's extreme climates, and why the Phius methodology is the exact toolset the market is desperately looking for.
