Several Hart & Cooley Inc. products recently
achieved the Greenguard Children & Schools certification.
Every
flexible duct product in the Hart & Cooley and Ameriflex line, including
its new Commercial Series duct products, met the Greenguard Environmental
Institute’s certification standards for improving indoor air quality, company
officials announced.
“Our homes, schools, and office
buildings are filled with products and materials that emit thousands of
different pollutants into the air we breathe, posing numerous health risks to
children and their developing systems,” said Marilyn Black, founder of the
Greenguard Environmental Institute. “By certifying their air-duct products to
the Greenguard Children & Schools standard, Hart & Cooley Inc. is
actively working to protect children and the air they breathe from hazardous
chemicals and pollutants.”
“Hart & Cooley and Ameriflex
are the brands you can install with confidence,” said Jeff Elzinga, the
company’s flexible duct systems product manager. “Air-distribution ducts are a
critical element in delivering healthy and safe indoor air. By attaining
Greenguard Children & Schools certification, Hart & Cooley Inc. is
taking steps to ensure confidence that you have improved indoor air quality by certifying
our flexible ducts.”
The Hart & Cooley products had to
undergo continuous testing for more than 10,000 different chemicals and meet
health-based criteria for volatile organic compounds.
