Description:
This Presentation will focus on what Phius is looking for from raters during the construction process.  The Phius certification process consists of two steps.  First, a project achieves Design Certification based on the design meeting the heating, cooling and Source Energy targets laid out by Phius.  However, as the final home will inevitably differ from the original design, raters are needed to ensure that the as-built home still meets Phius requirements.  This presentation will lay out the information that Phius that raters need to gather and that Phius will review in order to ensure a Final Certification.
