PHIUS+ Passive House Institute US. Super-insulated homes that have met certification requirements demonstrating minimal or no heating and cooling system. View None
PHIUS+ Retro The PHIUS+ Certification program is the leading passive building certification program in North America. It's the only passive building certification that combines a thorough passive house design verification protocol with a stringent Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program performed on site by highly skilled and specialized PHIUS+ Raters.

Photovoltaic Photovoltaic (PV) systems derive energy from incoming solar radiation that is dependent on time, quality of sunlight, and the mounted pitch. PV arrays can exists as facade systems and roofing systems. Facade systems include curtain wall products, spandrel panels, and glazings. Roofing systems include tiles, shingles, standing seam products, and skylights with option for fixed-tilt (non-adjustable) or sun-tracking (adjustable). PV systems can also exist on a premises off of the building envelope such as on the ground, awnings or carports. Types of applications include thin-film or PV modules. This DC power can be used, stored in a battery system, or transformed into AC electricity. View None

Pin base Pin base lamps have pins extending from the base that connect the socket. Electrical current then flows through the pins and into the lamp to energize the light source and generate light. Many lamp types are pin-based, including (but not all types): MR lamps, linear fluorescent lamps, some CFLs, and some HID lamps. View None
