The Clean Indoor Air Initiative at the Pandemic Center developed a database of 50 + IAQ‐related bills from the past five years to help policymakers, advocates, and researchers track progress, identify proven approaches, and coordinate efforts. The Environmental Law Institute( ELI) has also added this database to their website as a separate resource.
Experience shows coalition building is key. Legislative successes— particularly in schools— often result from partnerships that combine ventilation engineering technical expertise( from ASHRAE) and advocacy strength of community‐based organizations. This alignment is a proven strategy for advancing clean indoor air. By tracking legislative activity and capturing lessons from across states, this resource supports the long‐term vision of making clean indoor air a national public health priority.
The database is non‐exhaustive and reflects bills identified through internal research and by partner organizations; inclusion does not imply endorsement of specific legislation.
