About

The Guild utilizes cross-laminated mass timber, a material that has consistently shown to have lower embodied carbon and greenhouse gas emissions during production, installation, and deconstruction making it a leading choice in green building materials. By doing so, we promote better long-term effects for the planet, while ensuring durable construction, minimizing equipment needs and providing fundamental building performance.

Additionally, no off-site energy is needed for Phius Core standard performance, relying instead on renewable energy sources, one being our solar panels. With an all electric design, no fossil fuels are burned, dramatically reducing the amount of carbon dioxide being released.
