Phoenix Haus is a Prefab Passive House design & construction firm in Colorado. Its mission to create sustainable homes is working - earlier this year the team said they were creating two new prefab homes per month.
Phoenix Haus's most recent project is the H19 - the name being derived from both the term 'homestead' and the fact that the home is 1,900 sq ft. The panels for the H19 were installed in just four days, using the assembly details from Phoenix Haus' Alpha System (a PHI certified construction system). The team's approach to assembly design is very detailed oriented, with special attention to the modeling and building science that goes into creating a high-performance build. Phoenix Haus' assemblies utilize products from the air-sealing system by Pro Clima to make this happen. Check out the video now for a full project walk-through from the team to learn more!
The Alpha system as Certified by PHI uses the following products:
- TESCON VANA - airsealing tape used for sheathing on inside, as well as on all membranes
- INTELLO Plus - interior airbarrier and vapour control
- SOLITEX MENTO 3000 - WRB
- SOLITEX MENTO 3000 connect - roof underlayment
- EXTOSEAL ENCORS - window sill tape
- CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ - vapour variable, interior and exterior window taping
- CONTEGA FIDEN EXO - vapour open joint connections
