American Lung Association "Health House"
 
Indoor air can have four to five more contaminants than outside air, according to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). And with poor indoor air quality leading to an increase in health problems, The American Lung Association (ALA) launched its Health House program with the aim of improving indoor air quality and helping homeowners take control of their indoor environment. The ALA devised a set of guidelines that would ensure in-home healthy air quality by focusing on three main elements: ventilation, filtration, and moisture control. Building a tighter envelope that minimizes random airflow will help the builder and homeowner address these areas.

One of the key "green" building products specified for this Health House was The Icynene Insulation System. Icynene's performance is two-fold in that it acts as both an insulation and air barrier. The air-sealing property of Icynene had a tremendous impact on indoor air quality, comfort, and moisture management.

Icynene supports "Health House" guidelines and delivers superior results.
  • Provides homeowners with control over the air they breathe indoors
  • Minimizes the intrusion of outdoor allergens and pollutants
  • Delivers advanced moisture management
  • Reduces environmental impact
