AIISA NADCA Annual Meeting Recap
More than 120 duct cleaning and indoor air quality professionals attended the
sixth AIISA NADCA Annual Meeting & Exposition (ANAM) in Jesi, Italy this April. ANAM is the premiere exposition of the duct cleaning industry in Italy, and serves as a valuable networking opportunity for NADCA members. Bill Benito, NADCA President, attended the conference in support of AIISA and our ongoing partnership with NADCA’s Italian counterparts.
The meeting focused on promoting AIISA Operational Protocol, underlining technical and marketing issues. Presentations also highlighted field experiences, such as recovering money in hospital air duct cleaning jobs; a study of indoor air pollution and chemical risks at manufacturing sites that produce footwear, metal, rubber, plastic and wood; and the proper use of personal protection equipment by 3M Italy.
As an AIISA qualified promoter of healthcare in public environment and new business in local industry, NADCA had the privilege of being the dedicated sponsor of the Marche Region Authorities (the Jesi Region).

Focus on EducationThis year’s meeting marked the 10-year anniversary of AIISA and the twentieth ASCS exam administration. The exam featured a new study packet, 150 new questions translated by AIISA and NADCA. The exam also welcomed two new Italian trainers: Francesca Albano and Massimo Albertini, both ASCS VSMR. Italian ASCS earned three continuing education credits for attending the meeting.
About AIISA Operational ProtocolThe main goal of the AIISA Operational Protocol is to educate their clients about the duct cleaning industry. Specifically, it aims to differentiate the services performed by certified professionals from those performed by less qualified providers. It is based on NADCA’s ACR 2013, as well as on existing European and Italian technical recommendations. To help spread the message of the AIISA Operational Protocol, an announcement was circulated using all of AIISA’s available channels, including industry newspapers.
