A Radon Resistant New Construction (RRNC) is a home in which a builder has planned for and installed a Radon Mitigation System during the process of the home's construction. By doing this, the builder is able to conceal the piping through a wall or chase and out of the home through the roof. The Radon Mitigation System will enhance the Indoor Air Quality of the home by reducing the homebuyer's exposure to radon, therefore lowering the risk of contracting lung cancer.
The new construction phase presents the optimal opportunity to address radon due to its cost-effectiveness, convenience, and effectiveness. By implementing radon-resistant construction techniques and mitigation measures from the beginning, occupants can enjoy long-term safety and peace of mind, while avoiding the need for costly retrofitting or potential health risks associated with radon exposure.
