1 ENERGY STAR SUMMIT DECEMBER 6, 2006 ENERGY STAR INDOOR AIR PACKAGE
2 OUTLINE What s s so important about IAQ? What is the Indoor Air Package? How does it work? Sales Tools
3 WHAT ARE BUILDINGS FOR? People buy Homes because they need Protection from the elements and other dangers, and they have Aspirations to live in attractive, private, comfortable, healthy spaces with their families.
4 IT S NOT YOUR GRANDPA S HOME? They re tighter They re better insulated More exhaust fans Lower vent gas temperatures More forced air systems w/fewer returns More air pathways w/open framing systems Attached garages are now standard We re building on less desirable sites And the list goes on
5 SHOULD BUILDERS CARE ABOUT IAQ? Asthma Epidemic (20 million Americans have it); ~2 million ER visits per year Increasing Risks of Radon >20,000 lung cancer deaths per year Increasing Respiratory Problems widespread indoor dampness (e.g. wet basements and visible mold) Chemical Pollutants EPA estimates times more than outdoor air Now consider this: People spend >90% of their time indoors, and >60% in their homes!
6 WHAT POLLUTANTS AFFECT IAQ? Biological pollutants Mold & Mildew Dust Mites & Pests Combustion products CO, NO2, Smoke Radon & Soil gases Formaldehyde Other Chemicals Airborne Particles Dust, Pollen More IAQ Info available at: intro.html Or call Linked to health problems ranging from minor respiratory irritation to death, depending on exposure and sensitivity House design and construction can reduce exposure risk for indoor air pollutants!
7 DO HOMEBUYERS CARE ABOUT IAQ? Moisture and mold litigation - Up [~9,000 moisture and mold court cases - American Banker, 1/03] Home moisture problem inquiries - High [30%, double the next closest subject - NAHB Research Center] Asthma prevalence - High [19% of US households have at least 1 person with asthma - EPA] Air cleaner product sales - Up [$1.2 Billion annual sales - Levin, 2005] Radon mitigation sales - Up [300% increase in home radon mitigations since EPA]
8 CONSUMERS NEED BETTER CHOICES Incomplete Solution Incomplete Solution Incomplete Solution Incomplete Solution Air Cleaners Air Fresheners Incomplete Solution Incomplete Solution UV Lights
9 IAQ RISK REDUCTION PRINCIPLES? 1. Source Control eliminate, substitute, or modify pollutant sources 2. Dilution ventilate to dilute unavoidable pollutants 3. Filtration remove targeted pollutants, last resort after source control & dilution

54 MAKING IAP VISIBLE: IAQ HOUSE MAP Quality Builders Building Homes With Your Family s s Health in Mind Back Page Description of IAQ Risks and IAP Features addressing them Quality Builders Building Homes With Your Family s s Health in Mind Indoor Air Package: You should feel safe and secure in your home. So it s important to understand how to guard against the health risks of poor Indoor Air Quality. That s why <Ken s Homes> builds houses designed to earn the Indoor Air Package label, a special label awarded by the U.S. EPA for ENERGY STAR qualified homes that include a comprehensive set of additional specifications designed to reduce IAQ risks. Most of us spend about two-thirds of our time in homes, so bad air inside homes can impact our health. Major risks include: 6 Radon: An invisible gas found in 1 out of every 15 houses, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers causing over 20,000 deaths per year. ENERGY STAR with Indoor Air Package homes built in areas with the highest risks include radon-resistant features Moisture Control 2. Radon & Soil Gas Control 3. Pest Management with less need for Pesticides 4 4. Improved Comfort Systems 5. Combustion Safety 6. Less Harmful Chemicals in building materials Asthma: Over 20 million people in the U.S. including over 6 million kids have asthma. Symptoms can be triggered by both indoor and outdoor pollution. Controlling indoor asthma triggers requires occupants to keep homes clean, dry and smoke free. But how your home is designed and built makes a difference too. ENERGY STAR with Indoor Air Package homes reduce asthma triggers through more effective ventilation systems, moisture control and other features. Mold and Moisture: Living in damp buildings can damage your health. Mold and excessive moisture can cause health problems ranging from coughing and irritation to allergies and asthma. ENERGY STAR with Indoor Air Package homes include many moisture control features to keep your house dry and healthy. Carbon Monoxide: This colorless, odorless gas kills over 400 Americans a year. Carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases can enter your home through heaters, stoves, fireplaces and other combustion appliances if they are not properly designed and vented. ENERGY STAR with Indoor Air Package homes include combustion safety features and carbon monoxide alarms to guard against this threat. Other Pollutants: This colorless, odorless gas kills over 400 Americans a year. Carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases can enter your home through heaters, stoves, fireplaces and other combustion appliances if they are not properly designed and vented. ENERGY STAR with Indoor Air Package homes include combustion safety features and carbon monoxide alarms to guard against this threat.
