WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

The asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program, which is jointly run by Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) is pleased to be participating in both virtual shows, the IBS 2021 Builders Show® and NKBA’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show® that are taking place February 9 – 12, 2021 during the 8th Annual Design & Construction Week®. The Certification Program will join other leading organizations and industry innovators during this capstone event, which is known as the premiere networking, learning, and sourcing event for building professionals to identify cutting edge housing, construction, and design solutions to improve resilience, safety, and quality of life in buildings. Usually an in-person annual event, it will be all web-based due to health and safety concerns and ongoing travel restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program will be featured within the virtual activation booths of multiple certified asthma & allergy friendly® client brands exhibiting at #IBS2021 and #KBIS2021 including LG Electronics, 3M (Filtrete™ Brand), and Trane. Each of these clients are showcasing certified products that focus on the health of the building’s occupant by placing emphasis on the importance of indoor air quality and a healthy home environment, which are the backbone to the asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program.
