The 41^st AIVC – ASHRAE IAQ joint Conference “IAQ 2020: Indoor Environmental Quality Performance Approaches Transitioning from IAQ to IEQ” will be held during the 14^th & 16^th of September 2020 in Athens, Greece. It will be a joint event combined with the 9^th TightVent and the 7^th venticool conferences.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been the core of ASHRAE’S IAQ series of conferences for the past 30 years. This conference will expand from Indoor Air Quality to Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). IEQ includes air quality, thermal comfort, acoustics, and illumination and their interactions. The particular focus of this conference is on performance approaches including the metrics, systems, sensors and norms necessary to implement them.

Conference topics

• Health and Well-being: Appropriate technical and operational definitions
• Performance Metrics: For all aspects of IEQ
• Interactions: Interactions between IEQ parameters
• Occupant Behavior: How behavior impacts IEQ and how IEQ impacts behavior – psychological dimensions of IEQ
• Smart Sensors and Big Data: Sensor properties, data management, cybersecurity, applications
• Smart Controls: Equipment properties, 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
• Policy and Standards: Trends, impacts, implications
