ASHRAE Issues Call for Papers for IEQ 2025
ASHRAE is accepting papers for the IEQ 2025 Conference, co-organized by ASHRAE and AIVC, to be held Sept. 24-26, 2025 in Montreal, Canada.
The conference expands upon the research and discussions of the former ASHRAE IAQ conference series that began in 1986. The theme of the conference is “Rising to New Challenges: Connecting IEQ to a Sustainable Future” and focuses on the increasing understanding of how occupants respond to various indoor environmental factors while enhancing resilience in the face of a changing climate.
The conference steering committee seeks papers on the following topics:
- 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
- Policy and standards: Trends, impacts, implications
- HVAC and IEQ in a post-COVID world
- Ventilation and building decarbonization
Authors have the option to submit a short abstract for either a conference paper (8-page manuscript) or an extended abstract (3-page manuscript). Short abstract submissions are due Nov. 11. If accepted, complete manuscript submissions are due March 10. For more information, visit ashrae.org/IEQ2025.
