Several builders and remodelers have approached me about serving the needs of the chemically sensitive during this time of reduced building activity. They are ecstatic about the Indoor Air Quality report of the National Institute for Building Research. Several of us who work with chemically sensitive people got the U.S. Access Board to fund this report.
In this regard, we are especially indebted to Mary Lamielle, Susan Molloy, Dr. Ann McCampbell, and Toni Temple. The Access Board sets the standards for accommodation of people with disabilities. Builders are particularly interested in the sections starting on p. 86 dealing with building products.

I recommend that you tell builders interested in green building in your area about this report.
