Affordable Housing with Indoor AirPlus

Indoor AirPlus is a voluntary partnership and labeling program that offers guidance and construction specifications that help improve comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) for residents, as well as enhance durability and reduce risk for affordable builders and developers. Indoor AirPlus partners play an important role by developing income-eligible housing typically designated for lower-income households whose construction is generally publicly subsidized by federal, state, or local housing agencies, usually via grants, loans, tax credits, and/or tax-exempt bonds. 

The Indoor AirPlus Leader Awards were created to recognize outstanding Indoor AirPlus Program partners who construct and verify Indoor AirPlus homes designed and built for improved IAQ. This annual award, which includes an affordable builder category, acknowledges market-leading builders and raters that promote the benefits of IAQ protections and educate consumers on the value of safer, healthier, and more comfortable homes with the Indoor AirPlus label. To view the most recent winners, please visit Indoor AirPlus Leader Award Winners.
