EPA’s Indoor airPLUS Program has had a label for new homes since 2009, but until now, there has not been an option for existing homes to earn the label, apart from extensive gut-rehabs. This session will introduce Indoor airPLUS for Existing Homes (IAP X), an opportunity for home performance contractors to deliver a comprehensive IAQ label for the millions of existing homes in the country.

This interactive session will explain the requirements of earning the label and provide examples of how the program can be customized depending on age, region, climate, or original construction technique.

 

Learning Objectives:

• By attending this session, attendees will learn about the EPA’s Indoor airPLUS label for improved IAQ in existing homes

• By attending this session, attendees will learn about partnering with EPA to be able to access program tools and resources to market the program to their clients
