This year, Americans across the country have been reminded about the importance of the indoor air quality in their homes. Indoor airPLUS is a voluntary partnership and labeling program that helps new home builders address customer health concerns through construction practices and product specifications that minimize exposure to airborne pollutants and contaminants.

Indoor airPLUS labeled homes are healthier by design, improving indoor air quality and comfort, while also offering cost savings through energy efficiency. Indoor airPLUS labeled homes can help reduce the likelihood of common and serious health problems like heart disease, cancer, asthma, allergies, respiratory issues, headaches and more through comprehensive indoor air quality approaches. These approaches include mold and moisture control; radon resistance; pest management; improved heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems; combustion venting; healthier building materials; and homeowner education.

The Indoor airPLUS team is currently developing Indoor airPLUS Version 2, which will include revised Program Requirements for New Construction as well as introducing a NEW label for existing homes!
