SWA was one of only four Home Energy Raters to be honored with a 2014 Indoor airPLUS Leader Award.
“Our 2014 award winners have made wonderful contributions to raising homeowner awareness and providing higher quality homes with a focus on improved indoor air quality,” said David Rowson, Director of EPA’s Indoor Environments Division. “These builders and Home Energy Raters are helping to lead a competitive homebuilding market by creating healthier indoor environments that benefit homeowners for years to come.”
“Our clients are placing more value on indoor air quality and comfort than ever before,” said SWA Senior Sustainability Consultant Karla Donnelly. “We find that combining Indoor airPLUS with energy and water savings results in maximum value for high performance homes."
