MADISON, Wis. — The National Air Filtration Association (NAFA) has announced the recipients of its Clean Air Awards for 2016. The award is presented each year to building owners and managers who take steps to significantly improve IAQ by increasing the level or efficiency of their HVAC air filtration system in 10 specific categories.

Candidates are nominated for the award by both NAFA members and members of the facility management community, and must submit detailed and specific steps taken toward cleaning the indoor environment through “best air filtration practices” and system hygiene. A NAFA Certified Air Filter Specialist confirms these improvements. Nominees are judged by the NAFA Clean Air Award Committee and each recipient receives a custom-designed award, building signage, and recognition for their efforts.

Award-winning buildings must maintain IAQ diligence and submit inspection data each year in order to maintain the NAFA Clean Air Award.
