Indoor airPLUS Leader Awards

Application Available!

Apply by June 17, 2024.

The Indoor airPLUS Leader Award Winners are recognized as market-leading program partners who construct and verify Indoor airPLUS homes designed and built for improved indoor air quality. Rater and builder winners are featured on the Indoor airPLUS website and gain access to special recognition marketing materials, such as Leader Award banners, press releases, and featured social media posts.

EPA will announce Leader Award winners in August, and they will be further recognized at the 2024 EEBA High Performance Home Summit, October 1 – 3.

EPA will also present two Indoor airPLUS Leader of the Year Awards to an outstanding builder partner and rater partner, selected from the pool of Leader Award winners. The builder winner may be selected from any of the builder categories.

The builder and rater Leaders of the Year will be chosen for their Indoor airPLUS contributions over the previous year, based on the evidence and quality of their Leader Award application. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your great work at a nationally recognized conference for high performance building! These two Leader of the Year winners will be announced in-person during the award ceremony at the EEBA Summit.

Completed applications and supplemental collateral should be submitted to Indoor_airPLUS@epa.gov by 8 pm EDT, June 7, 2024.
