Industry Leaders Report on Current New Homes Trends and Forecast the Future of the Housing Market

Summary: Energy and Environmental Building Alliance Board of Directors, Robert Broad from Pulte Homes and Gord Cooke of Building Knowledge, share with David Price (formerly with EPA), current and future perspectives in the home building industry with regards to indoor air quality, building and labeling practices and consumer awareness of healthier homes. Broad and Cooke walk listeners through how the industry has taken a proactive stance towards redefining and evaluating what is effective in labels and standards and what is not. In addition, they discuss how to move forward with these labels and standards so that consumers are engaged, educated and living healthier lives. By linking labeling and standardization practices with trust and quality, Broad and Cooke believe the public will realize that they too, along with home builders, can directly impact their own air quality and overall quality of life.
