Let’s Clear the Air: Introducing Breathe
Easy Illinois
CHICAGO — Throughout Illinois, seats are empty. Restaurants,
movie theaters, museums, gyms and more have all felt
the lingering effects of a pandemic over a year in the making.
Nearly all industries have experienced an unprecedented
culture shift to virtual and remote work, and the majority
of households with K-12 students have become increasingly
familiar with distance learning.
As the country works to return to “normal,” many commercial
building managers and homeowners have turned their
focus on improving health through indoor air quality (IAQ).
Introducing Breathe Easy Illinois
SMACNA Greater Chicago, Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union
73 and SMART Local 265 recently announced the launch of
Breathe Easy Illinois. This labor-management cooperative
features today’s most advanced solutions designed to help
improve IAQ for all Illinoisans now and in the future.
“Improving occupant health and wellness is no longer a value-added
option — it’s a necessity,” said Tony Adolfs, SMAC-
NA Greater Chicago Executive Vice President. “Our members
have the best-trained workforce to install and maintain
today’s most reliable IAQ solutions, and we’re proud to take
the lead in our industry with the launch of this program.
Together, we can clear the air and get our communities back
up and running safely.”
