Passive House Institute US

The Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) is an organization that promotes a building standard for energy-efficient construction, known as Passive House. This standard emphasizes creating homes and buildings that require minimal energy for heating and cooling, resulting in remarkable comfort and lower energy bills. By using superior insulation, airtight designs, and energy-efficient windows, Passive House buildings maintain a stable indoor climate year-round. PHIUS also offers certification programs to ensure that projects meet these criteria, encouraging sustainable architecture and reducing environmental impact.
