Passive House or Net Zero?

Passive House or Net Zero?

Choosing the wrong building standard in 2026 could cost your clients thousands in lost tax credits.

You’ve detailed a beautiful building section. Clean lines. Triple-glazed units. Continuous insulation.

Then the spec gets value-engineered mid-build — Passive House windows swapped out, solar panels bolted on to “make up the difference.”

Six months after occupancy, the condensation data doesn’t match the model. Your name is still on the drawings.

The performance gap between Phius and Net Zero isn’t opinion — it’s measurable. Our latest guide breaks down cost ranges, performance benchmarks, and 2026 tax credit implications for Northeast projects, including the Section 45L deadline builders can’t afford to miss.

Our PHI-certified systems are built to meet both standards. Only one delivers the post-occupancy results that protect your spec.
