As the demand for healthier building materials grows, third-party certifications like <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> provide essential trust and transparency for architects, builders, and homeowners.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergystandards.com\/leah-mcinerney\/\">Leah McInerney<\/a>, Client Success Manager at the Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae Certification Program, interviewed Knauf representatives Tim Cofran and Linda McGovern about the award:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leah:<\/strong> <em>Tim, congratulations on this recognition! What does winning the NAHB Global Innovation Award mean to Knauf?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tim Cofran:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;So as you know I&#8217;ve been working on this project for a long time and to get recognized at the Builder show here in Vegas is a is a great honor and we&#8217;re really excited about it. Knauf has always strived to be a leader in this space.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leah:<\/strong> <em>Linda, just a year ago, we were talking about Knauf\u2019s initial certification, and now you\u2019ve won an award! Can you tell us about the journey?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Linda McGovern:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;Yeah it&#8217;s been kind of an incredible journey. You know it started as a single product at retail and turned into something much bigger- much bigger than we ever really dreamed of. We started digging into <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> certification it became clear that we couldn&#8217;t do just one product. There&#8217;s over 100 million people in the US that suffer from allergies and over 28 million that have asthma, and so for us to only doing one product just didn&#8217;t seem like we doing justice.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead: The Future of Healthier Building Materials<\/h3>\n<p>Fiberglass insulation isn\u2019t always top of mind when people think about indoor air quality, but Knauf is changing that perception. As Tim Cofran explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;\"><em>&#8220;Most people don&#8217;t ever see their installation it&#8217;s behind a wall, it&#8217;s up in an attic. If you think about it, in a commercial building it&#8217;s in a mechanical room or it&#8217;s up in the the duct work for the HVAC system&#8230;. it&#8217;s really important for us to educate the building owners and the designers and the engineers on the products that they select do ultimately have an impact on the people that choose to to spend their time in that indoor space.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With its certified<strong> Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae <\/strong>insulation, Knauf is leading the industry toward more transparent, performance-driven, and health-conscious building solutions.<\/p>\n<h3>The Role of Certification in Knauf\u2019s Broader Vision<\/h3>\n<p>Winning this award is part of Knauf\u2019s long-term strategy to elevate industry standards. <strong>Linda McGovern<\/strong> elaborated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;\"><em>I think when you think about the value chain this product delivers more than just certifications. It&#8217;s about our employees who work with the product, every single day, the contractors that are installing it about the occupants of the building. So having a whole entire portfolio of products that have certified <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> really sets the bar for higher standards for the entire industry&#8230;..So it&#8217;s really an overall journey and longterm strategy that is part of how we&#8217;re going to grow.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>What\u2019s Next?<\/h3>\n<p>Knauf has a robust roadmap for expanding its certified <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> product offerings. With rising consumer demand for healthier and more sustainable building materials, third-party certifications like <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> will continue to play a crucial role in product transparency and industry leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Knauf on this well-deserved industry recognition!
