“No one should have to suffer the consequences of poor indoor air quality, least of all our kids and students seeking an education at school,” Congressman Tonko said. “Our bipartisan Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act protects the health of our communities by establishing science-based guidelines and delivering effective tools and best practices to minimize indoor health risks. I’m proud to be joined by Congressman Fitzpatrick in pushing this legislation forward to protect the health and wellbeing of our kids and communities.”
“The Airborne Act reinforces the important connection between buildings and occupant health and well-being,” said ASHRAE president Bill McQuade. “This legislation aligns with ASHRAE’s focus on healthy buildings and indoor environmental quality by providing important incentives for building owners and operators to assess and invest in system improvements that advance public health and improve productivity.”
“Chronic neglect of America’s public schools has forced students and teachers across the country to learn and work in outdated and hazardous school buildings. Moreover, dilapidated and poorly ventilated school facilities pose significant health threats that make it harder for teachers to teach and students to learn," said Ranking Member Scott. “The Rebuild America's Schools Act invests $130 billion in our nation’s physical and digital infrastructure, improves students’ academic recovery efforts, and creates more than 2 million jobs over the next five years. It is far past time to improve public education infrastructure."
