Purpose of the Conference
Besides addressing thermal comfort and IAQ issues, buildings and other enclosed environments are increasingly faced with the challenge of providing a healthy environment. The 2003 SARS episode, the current H1N1 pandemic and the much dreaded avian flu have transformed the built environment landscape, raising not only significant public health concerns but also economic implications on a global scale. Airborne infection and its control in the built environment pose considerable challenges to mankind that rival the need to also address climate change and environmental sustainability. This will have tremendous impact in the design, operation and maintenance of buildings and other enclosed environments. IAQ 2010 will review the state of knowledge about airborne infection in such environments and help define future directions. The role of HVAC design and operation for infection control in buildings and other enclosed environments such as transportation will be the core theme.
