The National Air Filtration Association (NAFA) has announced 33 recipients of its Fall 2025 Clean Air Award, a distinguished commendation recognizing facilities that demonstrate excellence in improving indoor air quality through advanced air filtration practices.
Presented twice each year, the Clean Air Award honors building owners and managers who go above and beyond industry standards to create cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable indoor environments. The award is one of the highest recognitions in the air filtration industry, providing an opportunity for NAFA members to celebrate the champions of clean air within their communities.
NAFA’s Executive Director, Emily Bardach, CAE, CNAP, congratulated the award winners, saying: “This year’s Clean Air Award submissions highlight the incredible strides being made in indoor air quality. The nominated facilities exemplify how dedication to cleaner spaces and innovative filtration practices can make a lasting impact. Their forward-thinking efforts reflect the industry’s ongoing commitment to creating healthier, more sustainable environments.”
Facilities are nominated by NAFA members and evaluated by the NAFA Clean Air Award Committee. Each nominee must provide detailed documentation of the steps taken to improve the quality of their indoor environment, including the implementation of high-efficiency filtration products, rigorous system maintenance, and adherence to best air filtration practices. Award judges also consider each facility’s ability to enhance indoor air quality (IAQ) while balancing energy efficiency and operating costs—a hallmark of sustainable building management.
Recipients receive a custom-designed award, building signage, and recognition within NAFA’s communications and industry networks. To maintain this distinction, award-winning facilities must continue demonstrating IAQ diligence by submitting annual inspection data and sustaining compliance with NAFA’s Clean Air Award standards. Nominations for the program are accepted year-round, with major recognition cycles held each spring and fall. Beyond honoring facility achievements, the award also strengthens professional relationships between NAFA members, facility managers, and service providers, reinforcing a shared commitment to cleaner, healthier indoor environments.
