Growing urbanization and increase in population have increased the exposure of people to airtight buildings with accompanying health impacts. With more than 90% of time being spent indoors, Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) plays an important role in maintaining the health, well-being, & productivity of individuals. The Indoor Environment is an area that is currently not well addressed in the design and use of the built environment and has not received the importance and traction that it deserves.

After the successful 1st Edition of the Asian Conference on Indoor Environmental Quality (ACIEQ) in Feb 2019, Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) in collaboration with Society for Indoor Environment (SIE) and Indoor Air Quality Association-India Chapter (IAQA) have announced the 2nd Edition of ACIEQ on 24th-25th Feb 2023, at the Indian Aviation Academy, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.

The themes to be covered this year will be Indoor Air Quality, Adaptive Thermal Comfort, Productivity and Health, Indoor Lighting and Acoustics. We are glad to have confirmations from international subject experts like Dr Lidia Morawska (Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia), Dr. Arsen Melikov (Professor, Technical University of Denmark) and Dr. Pawel Wargocki (Technical University of Denmark) to present at ACIEQ 2023.
