This 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.
The Phius Certified Builder Certification is for tradespeople and construction professionals with field experience in construction and/or high performance building. This training prepares construction professionals to understand passive building techniques — airtight enclosures, high-performance window installation, passive design strategies, field quality assurance, and site management. For a project pursuing Phius Certification, these professionals ensure the building is built and operating to the plans and specifications. They are responsible for executing air-sealing and thermal bridge mitigation.
Join us for an in-person building tour of the Enterprise Research Campus (ERC) in Allston, MA, a mixed-use innovation district transforming a formerly underutilized site into a connected campus for research, housing, hospitality, retail, and public space. Project team will share how sustainability strategies were integrated across buildings and at the campus scale, from embodied and operational carbon reduction to healthier materials, water management, climate resilience and occupant well-being.
Join the Built Environment Plus community for the annual Green Building Showcase, a celebration of innovative projects and achievements in greening the built environment. Connect with industry professionals, explore project displays, and recognize outstanding work shaping a more sustainable future.

Learn the promise and pitfalls of LCA and EPDs, understand the categories of impact included in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) process, and examine the boundaries of those processes - what is included and what is not part of the process. The session will compare LCA categories with the Common Materials Framework defined by mindfulMaterials and consider the history of political debate that surrounds LCA of building materials with added focus on impacts that lie outside of the LCA process.
