SUMMARY:LEED v5 Materials and Resources: From Embodied Carbon to Circularity
DESCRIPTION:About the TrainingThis course will provide an in-depth look at the Materials and Resources credit category within the LEED v5 Building Design and Construction (BD+C) rating system. It will cover the two prerequisites and five credits that span the rating system’s core impact areas of Decarbonization\, Quality of Life\, and Ecosystem Conservation and Restoration. Participants will learn how LEED v5 elevates embodied carbon assessment with a prerequisite requirement to quantify cradle-to-gate emissions across key material categories\, along with a new Embodied Carbon credit that provides multiple options for achievement. The session will examine the Building Product Selection and Procurement credit’s multi-attribute scoring framework\, which aligns with the Common Materials Framework. The presenters will also cover the updated Construction and Demolition Waste Diversion credit\, which places increased value on salvaged and source-separated materials over commingled recycling. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 AIA LU / HSW and LEED-specific (pending approval) continuing education credits. \n This is a live\, online training led by Carrie Havey and Matthew Smith with The Green Engineer. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Carrie Havey\, LEED Fellow\, has been with The Green Engineer since 2010.

SUMMARY:Phius Certified Consultant (CPHC) Training
DESCRIPTION:This training is composed of two phases: 50-60 hours of self-guided content to be completed ahead of attending 8\, 3-hour live\, instructor-led sessions.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registrants will receive access to self-guided content on October 1st\, 2026. With this access\, registrants will also be able to select a live\, instructor-led training from a list of upcoming sessions scheduled by Phius. See Upcoming Live Sessions below for session options. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the ClassThis training is intended for Architects and Engineers. CPHCs learn to design to the Phius Certification climate-specific building standard. Projects earning Phius certifications (Phius CORE\, Phius ZERO and Phius REVIVE) follow RESNET QA/QC protocols and achieve excellent HERS scores\, US Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Home status\, and adhere to EPA indoor airPLUS requirements. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Phius\n				Phius (Passive House Institute US) trains and certifies professionals\, maintains the Phius climate-specific passive building standard\, certifies and quality assures passive buildings\, certifies high-performance building products and conducts research to advance high-performance building. Phius established the CPHC program in 2008 to distinguish accomplished passive building professionals in the marketplace. CPHC ® is a registered certification mark of Phius used with permission. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Enrollment and Training Structure\n				Registration for this training occurs on a monthly basis. On the first business day following the registration deadline\, registrants will receive instructions via email to gain access to self-guided content and select a live\, instructor-led session. Access to self-guided materials cannot be shared ahead of the registration deadline. \nPhius recommends choosing a live session start date that is at least 3-5 months after starting self-guided material. See Upcoming Live Sessions below. \nSelf-GuidedThe self-guided content consists of multiple text-based and graphic lessons that participants will work through at their own pace. Expected completion of the self-guided materials is estimated as 40-60 hours\, largely depending on the trainee’s knowledge of building science\, passive building principles\, Phius certification\, and high performance enclosures and mechanical systems. Registrants will have access to the self-guided training materials for 12 months from the time of registration through Phius. Registrants should complete the self-guided materials before attending their instructor-led sessions. \nOnline ExamRegistrants will be enrolled in the Online Exam when they register for training\, which is 1 of the 2 required exams for CPHC® certification. The online exam can be taken at a time of your choosing\, but must be completed within the 12 month window\, and must be completed in one sitting. The Online Exam focuses on the knowledge and content presented in the self-guided lessons\, and Phius recommends (but does not require) completing the Online Exam before starting instructor-led sessions. Additional information about the exam can be found on the Phius training site. \nInstructor-led Training:The second phase of the training focuses on design exercises applying passive building principles that are completed as a class and in small groups\, as well as WUFI Passive software training. Registrants will receive a WUFI Passive license approximately 2 weeks before their instructor-led sessions begin\, and will have an additional 2 hours of self-guided software training to complete before the instructor-led sessions. The instructor-led sessions consist of 24 hours of instructor-led training sessions across 2 weeks followed by a design exam. \nDesign Exam:Registrants will be enrolled in the Design Exam that opens at the end of their instructor-led sessions. The exam is due 4 weeks after it opens\, and typically takes 20-25 hours to complete. \nTrainee support:As part of the program\, Phius offers regularly scheduled virtual “Office Hours” sessions for participants to attend and ask questions of Phius instructors to support their learning. Please check the Phius training site for dates\, times\, and Zoom links. Additionally\, Phius will host an introductory meeting roughly 2 weeks prior to the start of instructor-led sessions to allow networking\, program questions\, and provide limited technical assistance for the WUFI Passive software. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Upcoming Live Sessions\n				Live\, instructor-led sessions are scheduled by Phius and are subject to change. All sessions are held live-online unless otherwise noted. Please refer to the Phius website* for current upcoming live training dates. \n*This page is included here for the purpose of referencing live session dates only. Trainees leveraging Express Grant funding must return to this page and register through BE+ to be eligible for reimbursement.  \nPhius strongly recommends choosing a live session that begins at least 3 months after starting self-guided content. Trainees will have the ability to begin self-paced content and select a live session on the day following the BE+ monthly enrollment deadline. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\n				1. Learn the principles of passive building design: heat transfer\, air-tightness\, thermal bridge free detailing\, super-insulation\, high-efficiency ventilation\, moisture control. \n2. Perform passive house verification using WUFI® Passive\, the next-generation dynamic modeling tool developed in partnership with Fraunhofer IBP and Owens Corning. \n3.
