Healthy Indoor Air Act of 2023

The Healthy Indoor Air Act of 2023 establishes new energy efficiency standards for conventional room air cleaners - portable or wall-mounted units that plug into outlets and remove particles from indoor air. It requires these devices to meet specific energy efficiency ratings (IEF) based on their clean air delivery rate (CADR) for PM2.5 particles, with phased standards starting December 31, 2023, and stricter requirements effective December 31, 2025. The bill excludes central air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and duct systems from these rules. Manufacturers must comply with these standards for new models, while labeling requirements are delayed until 2025. This directly affects producers and sellers of conventional room air cleaners sold in the U.S.
