This new easy-to-use Design Tool starts by automatically creating a reference small non-residential building that meets California’s Energy Code.

You can then copy either one and revise its design and compare it with prior versions of up to nine different designs.

WUFI Passive - notes on every input for building a PHIUS+ 2015 or PHIUS+ 2018 energy model

By Jonathan Bean

An 11-page Word doc meant to help a novice to intermediate user identify and describe every input field and option in the WUFI Passive energy modeling software.

This is meant as an item-by-item inventory of every input required in WUFI Passive. I've added notes to help a new user understand the information that WUFI Passive and PHIUS require. This is very much a beta-quality resource -- there are probably a few entries that could use further clarification, if not outright correction, so please let me know how to improve it.
