Cain CAD provides compliance verification services for the Indoor airPLUS certification. An Indoor airPLUS certified building is a designation awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to residential properties that meet specific guidelines for indoor air quality and health. These guidelines are designed to ensure that homes are built with features and systems that minimize indoor air pollutants and promote a healthier indoor environment for occupants.
To achieve Indoor airPLUS certification, a home must meet requirements related to:
- Moisture Control: Implementing measures to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth, such as proper ventilation and moisture-resistant materials.
- Radon Resistance: Installing radon-resistant construction techniques to mitigate the risk of radon gas infiltration.
- Pest Management: Employing strategies to prevent pest infestations and reduce the need for chemical pesticides.
- Combustion Pollutants: Utilizing combustion appliances and systems that minimize the release of pollutants such as carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- HVAC Filtration: Installing high-efficiency air filtration systems to remove particulates and allergens from indoor air.
