Over two busy days, our team from the <strong>Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Program joined builders, designers, manufacturers, and innovators who are shaping the next generation of homes. What we discovered was that one message came through clearly: that health is no longer an afterthought in home design, it\u2019s becoming an expectation.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"916\" data-end=\"956\">Health and Resilience Go Hand in Hand<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1223\">A highlight of the week was the panel discussion <em data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1053\">Healthy, Resilient Development Opportunities<\/em>, featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jillian-pritchard-cooke-7ba8bb140\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Jillian Pritchard Cooke<\/span><\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nahb.org\/member-pages\/public-profile?userId=348582\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">John Barrows<\/span><\/span><\/a>, and our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/about-the-program\/\">Leah McInerney,<\/a> Customer Success Manager. The conversation explored how building healthier and more resilient communities contributes directly to overall well-being. For homeowners and families, this means that the materials used in your home matter, indoor air quality matters and verified product performance matters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1752\">As more people spend time researching what goes into their homes (from paint and insulation to appliances and filtration) there is growing demand for products that have been independently tested and validated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"1906\">That\u2019s where third-party certification plays an important role: it helps translate technical performance standards into information consumers can trust.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_402794\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-402794\" class=\"size-large wp-image-402794\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-1024x664.jpg\" alt=\"Leah McInerney speaking on the Healthy, Resilient Development panel at KBIS 2026 alongside industry leaders discussing healthier home design.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-200x130.jpg 200w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-400x259.jpg 400w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-600x389.jpg 600w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-800x519.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-1024x664.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-1200x778.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney-1536x996.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asthmaandallergyfriendly.com\/USA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jillian-Pritchard-John-Barrows-Leah-McInerney.jpg 1613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-402794\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leah McInerney joins industry leaders to discuss healthy and resilient home development at KBIS 2026.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 data-start=\"1908\" data-end=\"1944\">Innovation You Can See and Feel<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2135\">The team also toured <a href=\"https:\/\/tnah.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"1996\">The New American Home\u00ae 2026<\/em>,<\/a> a showcase property demonstrating how advanced building techniques and carefully selected products come together in a real-world setting.

data-end=\"3514\">If you\u2019re researching products for your home, whether renovating, building, or simply upgrading, here\u2019s what KBIS \/ IBS 2026 tells us:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3516\" data-end=\"3778\">\n<li data-start=\"3516\" data-end=\"3551\">\n<p data-start=\"3518\" data-end=\"3551\">Health-focused design is growing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3552\" data-end=\"3619\">\n<p data-start=\"3554\" data-end=\"3619\">Manufacturers are responding to consumer demand for transparency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3620\" data-end=\"3709\">\n<p data-start=\"3622\" data-end=\"3709\">Independent testing and certification are becoming more important in product selection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3710\" data-end=\"3778\">\n<p data-start=\"3712\" data-end=\"3778\">Performance claims are increasingly expected to be backed by data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3780\" data-end=\"4001\">Choosing products that are Certified <strong>Asthma
