Walls influence more than structure and sound. They quietly shape how a building feels to the people who use it: how it sounds, how the air smells, how a child with asthma sleeps at night, how a worker feels finishing the day. Insulation is part of that story.

A Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly HVAC filter, tested to rigorous scientific standards, provides a validated approach to capturing airborne allergens and fine particles, helping maintain cleaner indoor air even when outdoor conditions are challenging.

This article explores how properly designed wall systems can reduce airborne particulates, improve thermal continuity, minimise condensation risk, and contribute to healthier indoor environments across seasons.

This first Fitwel data partnership will directly integrate Awair Omni’s commercial-grade IAQ sensor data with Fitwel's certification platform, enabling performance-based verification of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) strategies while significantly reducing the documentation burden on building owners and operators.

This article explores how the asthma & allergy friendly Certification Program evaluates a range of fiberglass insulation products, ensuring they contribute to healthier indoor environments.

Indoor air quality and energy efficiency are critical considerations in building design as more people become aware of their impact on health and productivity. They’re also intricately linked — a well-sealed structure with effective ventilation maintains fresh air and minimizes electricity waste.

Indoor air quality, operable windows, a daylighting strategy, a verdant landscape, and views of the surrounding environment are additional aspects that enhance occupant wellbeing.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and Allergy Standards Limited announced that Knauf’s HVAC fiberglass insulation product line, Knauf Performance+, has been CERTIFIED by the asthma & allergy friendly Certification Program.

Post-construction metrics are imperative to continue improving operations as new technology emerges. With each innovation, you can lower a building’s carbon footprint and support the environment.
