Rising to new challenges: Connecting IEQ to a sustainable future

The IEQ 2025 Conference will take place in Montreal, Canada.  Organized by ASHRAE and AIVC, this conference provides the opportunity to learn, network and engage with IEQ professionals dedicated to advancing the fields of indoor environmental quality. The IEQ 2025 Conference is also the 45th AIVC, the 13th TightVent and 11th venticool conference. Emphasis is placed on the growing understanding of occupant response to indoor environment elements (thermal, air quality, lighting and acoustics) while enhancing resilience in a changing climate.   Seminars are led by experts from around the world representing AIVC, ASHRAE and many other partnering organizations.
