The PHIUS+ 2018 passive building Standard is the first passive building certification program to integrate a third-party quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) professional into the certification process. The QA/QC component provides risk management, and can help projects qualify for financial incentives. The PHIUS certified QA/QC professional:
- Verifies plans and energy models at the design stage for compliance with certification requirements.
- Performs onsite testing and inspection during multiple site visits to ensure the project is built as designed.
PHIUS provides two training programs for QA/QC professionals who wish to participate in the PHIUS+ building certification process.
