IAQ 2016 Defining Indoor Air Quality: Policy, Standards and Best Practices Co-Organized by ASHRAE and AIVC

A consensus-driven, grassroots member program of legislative advocacy.

Content: The IAQA recently revitalized its Government Affairs Committee. The reconstituted IAQA Government Affairs Committee has substantial freedom to innovate in serving IAQA’s members. Three IAQA early initiatives will be explored: 1. Sunset of mold assessment and remediation licensing in Texas, 2. Administrative reform of mold assessment and remediation licensing in Florida, 3. Advent of mold assessment and remediation licensure in New York. The collaboration of ASHRAE and IAQA in Government Affairs has provided insights as to how both organizations can expand on what works in legislative advocacy and what does not.
