Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become one of the most critical considerations in modern buildings. Beyond ensuring occupant comfort, IAQ directly influences health, wellbeing, cognitive performance, productivity, energy consumption and building sustainability.

As people spend more than 80% of their time indoors, building owners and facility managers are increasingly challenged to deliver indoor environments that are healthy, resilient and energy-efficient while meeting increasingly stringent sustainability and regulatory requirements.

This intensive one-day programme provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, technologies and engineering strategies used to achieve superior IAQ in commercial, institutional and healthcare buildings. Participants will gain practical insights into the sources of indoor pollutants, ventilation effectiveness, humidity control, filtration technologies, demand-controlled ventilation, pressurisation strategies, and emerging HVAC solutions such as DOAS, displacement ventilation, radiant cooling and chilled beam systems.

Through real-world case studies, best practices and technology applications, participants will learn how to design, operate and optimise building systems that improve occupant health, reduce airborne contaminants, enhance thermal comfort, and support green building objectives.

Whether you are involved in building design, operation, maintenance, sustainability management or asset enhancement, this programme equips you with the knowledge needed to create healthier, smarter and more sustainable indoor environments.

Facility Managers, Building Owners and Asset Managers, Mechanical Engineers, M&E Consultants, Building Services Engineers, Property Managers, Sustainability Managers, Green Mark Professionals, Energy Managers, Healthcare Facility Engineers, Project Managers, Architects and Developers.
