EPA Indoor Air Plus • Website www.epa.gov/indoorairplus
 : : Homebuyers are increasingly concerned about mold, radon, carbon monoxide, and toxic chemicals in their homes. EPA studies show that levels of air pollution inside the home are often two to five times higher than outdoor levels. EPA’s Indoor airPLUS program helps builders meet homebuyers’ concerns and demand for homes with improved indoor air quality. Indoor airPLUS construction specifications allow builders to build healthier homes that include moisture control systems; heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems; combustion-venting systems; radon resistant construction; and low-emitting building materials. Builders must first design a home to earn the ENERGY STAR label — the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. The result is a healthier home that is significantly more energy efficient than a home built to minimum code, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Before the home officially earns the Indoor airPLUS label, it is inspected by an independent third-party to ensure compliance with EPA’s rigorous guidelines and specifications.
