Standards: Why They Matter

Episode 5: Standards – Why They Matter

In this episode of The Indoor Environments Project, we dig into one of the most powerful forces shaping our industry: standards. From radon and vapor intrusion to environmental due diligence—standards make our work safer, more consistent, and grounded in science.

Fresh off an incredible IEA Symposium in Fort Worth, we’re joined by two leaders who live and breathe this work every day:

🧪 Myca Bruno
Managing Director of Indoor Air Quality at BBG Assessment, ANSI/AARST Measurement Standards Committee member, and President of the IEA North Carolina Chapter.

🔬 Shawn Price
Director of Operations for Air Chek and AccuStar Labs, former IEA President, Chair of the Standards Management Council, and Chair of the ANSI/AARST MEAS Standard.

Together, they take us behind the scenes of standards development—what the consensus process really looks like, why transparency matters, and how real-world science guides every update.

You’ll hear:
 • What happens when testing and mitigation aren’t grounded in standards
 • Examples where following the standard protected families and revealed hidden risks
 • How standards reduce liability, strengthen trust, and level the playing field for all businesses
 • Why YOUR voice is needed in public comments and volunteer committees
 • What’s next for radon, vapor intrusion, and IAQ standards

And because this episode drops right before Thanksgiving—we’re sharing a moment of gratitude for the professionals who make homes, schools, and workplaces safer every day.

Better air starts with better professionals.
