New EPA program for home construction

EPA is rolling out a program for new home construction titled Indoor airPlus. EPA created Indoor airPLUS to help builders meet the growing consumer preference for homes with improved indoor air quality.

Construction specifications include the careful selection and installation of moisture control systems; heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems; combustion-venting systems; radon resistant construction; and low-emitting building materials.

Moisture control is a great idea as it breeds damp and thus feeds on it and breeds many diseases even asthma.
