The National Air Filtration Association has announced its recipients of the Clean Air Awards for 2024. The Clean Air Award is presented each year to the building owners and managers who take steps to significantly improve the quality of their indoor air by increasing the level or efficiency of their HVAC air filtration system in 10 specific categories.

NAFA’s Executive Director, Emily Bardach, CAE, CNAP, congratulated the award winners by saying, "This year’s Clean Air Award submissions have been truly inspiring. As our members and their clients continue to navigate the evolving landscape of indoor air quality, the nominated facilities have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to providing healthier, cleaner environments. Their innovative approaches to filtration and system hygiene showcase the power of proactive measures in creating a more sustainable and well-being-focused built environment."

Candidates are nominated for the award by NAFA members and must submit detailed and specific steps taken toward cleaning the indoor environment through “best air filtration practices” and system hygiene.  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 to maintain the NAFA Clean Air Award.
