Sarah Susanka's “Not So Big” Home Design Approach Combines Indoor Air Quality and Healthier Living

Summary: Sarah Susanka, author of the “Not So Big House” series, discusses how finding and investing in a home that is built to last and healthy inside and out is about knowing how all the components of a home can affect overall quality of life. Educating contractors, architects, designers, and homeowners on programs like the Indoor airPLUS program and green building is key to addressing this problem. Understanding the whole home picture and making informed choices in design can greatly reduce the risk of living in a home with poor indoor air quality.
