ASHRAE is accepting papers for the IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) 2025 Conference, co-organized by ASHRAE and AIVC, to be held Sept. 24-26, 2025 in Montreal, Canada.

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

• 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
