Session 3 Keynote - New Hampshire Room
October 30, 2023 @ 11:30am-12:15pm
Who holds the keys to Good IAQ and a Healthier Home? What doors are open or locked? Who are the Key Makers?
Joe Medosch, Owner and Executive Director of HHEA, Healthy Home Environment Association, Harding, CO
About this program:
This session will cover the key elements to best IAQ practices and a healthier home. Who holds the keys, is it the designer, builder, sub-contractors, HVAC contractors, Rater/Advisors, Code officials, product manufacturers, and/or the occupants. No surprise here, it's a combination. Let's pick the locks and discuss the various roles each key holder has in creating common failures (unhealthy conditions) and current successes that open the doors to a healthier home.
If a healthier home is as simple as turning a key, why are so few occupants asking for their home to be healthier? Maybe semantics with comfort or … we’ll discuss consumer indifferences. Why are so few doors, opportunities, open and others require special keys to enter.
The door is open, join us.
