Are You Smarter Than a Phius Reviewer?
Think you can outsmart a Phius reviewer? Put your building science skills to the test in this “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader” style quiz show that combines technical insight, teamwork, and laughter. Audience volunteers will face five real Phius project scenarios, guided by an expert panel featuring an architect, an energy modeler, and a Phius reviewer. Contestants can “Ask the Audience” as often as they like (though beware a few mischievous plants might steer them wrong), but use only three total “Ask an Expert” lifelines, one per panelist. Through friendly competition and audience participation, attendees will explore how collaboration between design experts shapes high-performance success. Expect laughs, learning, and a few surprises as we prove that understanding building science, and each other, is the real key to success.
