http://www.epa.gov/indoorairplus/ en-us EPA Indoor airPLUS EPA Indoor airPLUS This podcast series provides listeners with the opportunity to hear what experts are saying about improving indoor air quality in residential construction, healthier homes and green building in the new home industry. The podcasts focus on EPA’s Indoor airPLUS program, designed to help builders meet the growing consumer preference for homes with improved indoor air quality and energy efficiency. EPA developed construction specifications to help improve indoor air quality in new homes. With design and construction features added to homes build to code, the Indoor airPLUS Construction Specifications help protect qualified homes from moisture and mold, pests, radon, combustion gases, and other indoor air pollutants. Homes that earn the Indoor airPLUS labels are designed to have reduced risk of indoor air quality problems as well as greater comfort and better durability. The construction features of Indoor airPLUS qualified homes can help lead to lower health risks, allergens and asthma triggers.

Broad and Cooke walk listeners through how the industry has taken a proactive stance towards redefining and evaluating what is effective in labels and standards and what is not. In addition, they discuss how to move forward with these labels and standards so that consumers are engaged, educated and living healthier lives. By linking labeling and standardization practices with trust and quality, Broad and Cooke believe the public will realize that they too, along with home builders, can directly impact their own air quality and overall quality of life. http://www.epa.gov/indoorairplus/video/EEBA_Podcast.mp3 August 2010 38:34 airPLUS, air, home, build, environment, healthy, green, homeowner, indoor, energy efficiency, housing trends indoor_airplus@epa.gov (EPA Indoor airPLUS)no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EPAIndoorairPLUSPodcastSeries/~4/EOdS2aWP3mk" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EPAIndoorairPLUSPodcastSeries/~3/EOdS2aWP3mk/EEBA_Podcast.mp3http://www.epa.gov/indoorairplus/video/EEBA_Podcast.mp3http://www.epa.gov/indoorairplus/video/EEBA_Podcast.mp3 EPA Indoor airPLUS Sarah Susanka, author of the “Not So Big House” series, discusses how finding and investing in a home that is built to last and healthy inside and out is about knowing how all the components of a home can affect overall quality of life.
