ATLANTA (October 17, 2024) – ASHRAE, along with AIVC (Air infiltration and Ventilation Centre) are issuing a final call for papers for the IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) 2025 Conference, to be scheduled for September 24-26, 2025, in Montreal, Canada. Industry professionals, researchers and experts are invited to submit abstracts by November 11, 2024.
The conference, themed “Rising to New Challenges: Connecting IEQ to a Sustainable Future,” will focus on how indoor environmental quality (IEQ) affects occupants while addressing the growing need for building resilience amid a changing climate. The event will offer a platform for leading researchers and practitioners to present their innovative solutions for improving IEQ and advancing sustainability.
Requested topic areas include:
- Performance Metrics: For all aspects of IEQ
- Occupant Behavior: How behavior impacts IEQ and how IEQ impacts behavior - psychological dimensions of IEQ
- Smart Sensors, Data and Controls: Sensor properties, data management, cybersecurity, applications, commissioning, equivalence
- Resilience and IEQ: Responding to climate change and disasters
- Ventilation: Mechanical, passive, natural and hybrid systems
- Air Tightness: Trends, methods and impacts
- Thermal Comfort: Dynamic approaches, health impacts and trends
- The Environment Around Us: Acoustics, lighting, glazing, interiors and impacts upon wellness
- Policy and Standards: Trends, impacts, implications
- HVAC and IEQ in a post-COVID world
- Ventilation and building decarbonization
- Lighting and Acoustics: How can the outside be brought inside or vice versa
- Lighting Performance and Metrics
- Noise: How the environmental impact can be mitigated
- Indoor Air Quality Adaptation of Indigenous/Tribal Living
Authors have the option to submit a short abstract for either a conference paper (8-page manuscript) or an extended abstract (3-page manuscript). Submissions are due November 11, 2024. If accepted, complete manuscript submissions are due March 10, 2025.
