The PHIUS+ certification program adds a RESNET-approved Quality Assurance/Quality Control component to the standing PHIUS Passive House certification program. The QA/QC program can help qualified projects earn financial incentives, and provides an added level of quality assurance.

PHIUS is seeking qualified RESNET raters who want to learn how to give accurate and meaningful ratings of buildings designed and constructed to the Passive House standard. Working with experienced RESNET raters, PHIUS has developed a curriculum leading to qualification to rate projects seeking PHIUS+ Certification.
