Join the Indoor airPLUS Team on January 30^th at 1:00 p.m. EST for our Radon Protections in New Homes webinar to learn how the Indoor airPLUS Program protects homeowners from radon in new homes. Radon-resistant construction is becoming a focal point in the high performance building industry. Learn from seasoned radon expert, Bruce Snead, of the Kansas Radon Program about how to avoid common mistakes in design and installation of a passive system. Bruce is the Director of the Engineering Extension at Kansas State University, which provides technical assistance for EPA to promote public awareness and increased testing and mitigation for radon in homes, multifamily buildings, and schools.

You’ll also hear about new radon policy updates and exceptions in the Indoor airPLUS Construction Specifications.

Radon is one of the most important indoor air quality contaminants. You cannot see, smell or taste radon, but millions of homes in the United States have elevated levels. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that causes lung cancer, and high levels have been found in every state. Testing for radon is easy, and fixing high radon levels uses simple, straightforward techniques and materials. You can protect your family by fixing high radon levels or buying a home with radon-reducing features.

Indoor airPLUS is a voluntary partnership and labeling program that helps new home builders improve the quality of indoor air by requiring construction practices and product specifications that minimize exposure to airborne pollutants and contaminants. Enhanced indoor air quality protections in Indoor airPLUS qualified homes include protections such as moisture control, radon protection, pest prevention, improved HVAC systems, combustion pollutant control, and low-emission building materials.
