EPA Seeks Comments on IEQ Label for Homes

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking comments on their proposed Indoor Air Quality Label for New Homes (see EBN Vol. 12, No. 5). This voluntary label, a complement to the existing Energy Star® label for homes, is intended to improve IAQ, moisture control, comfort, and durability. The draft specifications and introductory material will be online at www.epa.gov/iaq/energystar/label_specifications.html by January 10. Comments must be received by March 12 of this year.
