At Premier SIPS, we believe high-performance buildings should also promote healthy living environments. That’s why we’re proud to announce that our Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) have achieved Clean Air Gold Certification—an elite Emit certification standard that confirms our panels meet ultra-low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions criteria.
This certified clean status isn’t just a label—it’s third-party proof that Premier SIPS help improve indoor air quality by eliminating pollutants that can affect the health of students, employees, homeowners, and anyone spending time inside our buildings.
Air Gold Certification is one of the most rigorous air quality standards in the building industry. Our SIP assemblies and key accessories underwent independent chamber testing by Intertek, a leading third-party lab, to determine if they release measurable VOCs. The result? Premier products met—and exceeded—the strict requirements to be labeled Certified Clean under the Clean Air Gold standard.
This certification verifies compliance with:
California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method v1.2
Low-VOC thresholds used in WELL, LEED, and other green building programs
Building codes and health-based standards are increasingly required by municipalities across the U.S. and Canada

Long before COVID raised awareness of air circulation and health, the state of California pioneered standards to reduce chemical emissions from building products. Today, many jurisdictions and green building certifiers require proof that materials do not emit harmful VOCs, and Premier SIPS now meet those demands with Air Gold Certification.
Our Emit certification applies to the full SIP assembly and key accessories. Here's how we ensure clean, safe materials:
EPS Core: Premier uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) with pentane, a non-CFC, non-HCFC blowing agent that quickly dissipates. EPS does not off-gas and is often GREENGUARD certified.
Adhesives: Premier’s adhesive contains no measurable VOCs, helping our panels qualify as Certified Clean.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB): Premier SIPs use OSB that contains no added urea-formaldehyde and complies with CARB, HUD, and EN-300 formaldehyde emission limits.
Combined, these materials create a high-performance panel system that supports excellent indoor air quality, without compromising strength, insulation, or durability.
Premier is proud to continue to create energy-efficient structures with High-Performing Building Envelope SIP Systems. Now, with Air Gold Certification, we add yet another advantage: healthier indoor spaces. Whether you’re designing schools, commercial offices, or residential buildings, you can feel confident that Premier SIPS help reduce exposure to harmful indoor pollutants.
