ROOM- Toucan

If you have heard about the new 45L tax incentives associated with ENERGY STAR and Zero Energy Ready Homes, but are not sure how Indoor airPLUS fits into that, this session is for you!

EPA’s Indoor airPLUS team will give an overview of the program, how it’s being updated in Version 2, how it applies to single-family homes as well as multifamily buildings, and how it relates to 45L. We will cover key design changes builders will need to prepare for in 2024 and beyond, as they pursue certification for improved source control, ventilation, and air cleaning for their clients. Indoor airPLUS Verifiers also play an increasingly important role in Version 2, with enhancements to moisture management requirements and performance testing for numerous building components and systems. Join us to learn how Raters can leverage their current Rating skills while expanding their business services to include this IAQ-focused certification for industry-leading builders. 

 

1. Understand the key updates and enhancements in Indoor airPLUS Version 2 including revised program requirements and a new framework for verification and quality control.

2. Learn about EPA’s recently proposed two-tier certification model for Indoor airPLUS, how the program has adapted various elements of program design based on stakeholder feedback, and how the program interfaces with ENERGY STAR, DOE Zero Energy Ready, and the 45L tax credits. 

3. Learn the role of Indoor airPLUS Verifiers in assessing and promoting indoor air quality protections in residential buildings of all heights, both newly constructed and gut-rehabilitated, along with best practices for incorporating IAQ enhancements during design.

4. Understand the implementation timeline for Indoor airPLUS Version 2 and how builders and raters can participate.
