Highlighting Certified Paint Solutions that Support Better Indoor Air Quality<\/i><\/h2>\n
Booth #616 | Greenbuild International Conference & Expo 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n The Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program is proud to highlight our Certified partner Benjamin Moore, who will be exhibiting at Greenbuild 2025 at Booth #616. Greenbuild is one of the most influential global events for sustainability, design, and building innovation, bringing together architects, manufacturers, and thought leaders committed to shaping a more sustainable and resilient built environment.<\/p>\n Presented in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC),<\/a> Greenbuild unites professionals who are advancing the next generation of standards and materials that improve sustainability, resilience, equity, and wellness in the spaces where we live, learn, and work. It\u2019s the hub where leaders collaborate to create a better quality of life for all, making it a fitting venue for Benjamin Moore to showcase their Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Eco Spec\u00ae paint, developed to support improved indoor air quality.<\/p>\n During and after application, paint can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemicals that can contribute to poor IAQ and irritate the eyes, nose, and airways, particularly for people with asthma or allergies. Even after paint has dried, VOCs may continue to off-gas into indoor environments.<\/p>\n Benjamin Moore has long been a leader in paint technology, designing solutions that help address these concerns. Eco Spec\u00ae, which has been part of the Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program for more than a decade, is formulated to meet stringent scientific criteria for low VOC emissions and ingredient compliance, verified through independent testing.<\/p>\n While many paints claim to be \u201clow-VOC,\u201d not all meet the rigorous testing required to confirm that emissions remain below defined thresholds after application. That\u2019s where independent certification plays a crucial role.<\/p>\n The Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program, operated by Allergy Standards Limited (ASL)<\/a> in partnership with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA),<\/a> evaluates paints for both chemical composition and performance. Certified paints are tested at 24 hours and 14 days after application to ensure emissions stay low throughout the most critical periods of drying and curing, reflecting real-world use where quick return-to-service is essential in homes, schools, and healthcare settings.<\/p>\n In addition, the program confirms that allergenic and sensitizing chemicals are as low as possible or not present, offering additional assurance for those prioritizing better indoor air quality.<\/p>\n![\"Benjamin](\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BM_3DR_GroupHero_EcoSpecInterior_Gallon_USE_RGB_Small.jpg-3-1024x454.png\" "\\"Benjamin")
