 ENERGY STAR Indoor Air Package People are increasingly concerned about mold, radon , carbon monoxide, and toxic chemicals commonly found in homes. In fact, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies show that levels of air pollution inside the home are often two to five times higher than outdoor levels. And poor indoor air quality is associated with a host of health problems, including eye irritation, headaches, allergies, and respiratory problems such as asthma. How Can Building Practices Affect Indoor Air Quality?Builders can employ a variety of construction practices and technologies to decrease the risk of poor indoor air quality, including careful selection and installation of moisture control systems, heating, cooling, and ventilation (HVAC) equipment, combustion venting systems, and building materials. But it’s not easy for homebuyers to keep track of all the preferred construction details that lead to improved indoor air quality and energy efficiency. That’s why EPA created the ENERGY STAR Indoor Air Package. Homes that earn the ENERGY STAR Indoor Air Package label are designed to have lower utility costs, greater comfort, better durability, and reduced risk of indoor air problems. Homes with the ENERGY STAR Indoor Air Package are at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2003 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and are designed to have improved indoor air quality compared to code-built homes. How Do Homes Earn the Label for the ENERGY STAR Indoor Air Package? Start with ENERGY STAR A home must first be designed and built to earn the ENERGY STAR—the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. The result is a home that is significantly more energy efficient than a code-built home. Add Indoor Air Improvements More than 70 additional home design and construction features are included in the Indoor Air Package to help protect qualified homes from moisture and mold, pests, combustion gases, and other airborne pollutants. Complete the Package with Independent Testing and Verification The home’s energy performance and many key features of the Indoor Air Package are inspected by an independent third-party to ensure that the builder has properly followed EPA’s guidelines for energy efficiency and specifications for indoor air quality. Here are the key focus areas: - Moisture Control: Moisture problems can lead to mold and other biological pollutants that can negatively impact health. With the Indoor Air Package, builders use a variety of moisture control features designed to minimize these risks, including improved control of condensation and better roof, wall, and foundation drainage.
- Heating, Ventilation , and Cooling (HVAC) System: Poorly designed and installed HVAC systems can lead to comfort and air quality problems. Homes with the Indoor Air Package include properly engineered system sizing, improved duct and equip...
