Find a Phius Certified panel system for your passive project, or get your prefabricated panel product Phius Certified to expand your marketplace reach.
Phius Certified Panel Systems have verified performance readily available to passive building practitioners. Panel systems may comprise a full construction system or a partial system such as a wall, roof, or foundation. The program verifies that the system is a low risk for moisture problems, and addresses the four critical control functions of a building enclosure: water, air, water vapor, thermal, as well as a minimum level of “critter control” (insects and rodents).
