Conference Chair
Welcome to IAQVEC 2026, the 12th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation, and Energy Conservation. As the Conference President, I am thrilled to host this gathering of brilliant minds dedicated to shaping a more sustainable and healthy built environment. Our theme, “Envisioning the Future: Innovations in Research and Technology for a Better Reality,” encapsulates our mission to explore cutting-edge solutions for a brighter tomorrow. I am excited to witness the impactful discussions, collaborations, and insights that will unfold during our time together.
I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the dedicated members of our organizing committee and board, and the scientific committee for their tireless efforts in shaping this event. Their commitment to fostering excellence in research and innovation is truly commendable. IAQVEC 2026 is more than an event; it’s a testament to our collective commitment to advancing building science, engineering, and architecture for the benefit of society and the planet.
