This year’s UKIEG is hosted by the Healthy Buildings Network at the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Leeds. Academics, industry experts, and policymakers will come together to discuss Indoor Environmental Quality, sustainable design, advanced monitoring, and their connections with health outcomes.

The day will commence with a keynote by Prof. Catherine Noakes OBE FREng, Professor of Environmental Engineering for Buildings.

The programme also features a panel debate on “Net-Zero Building Standards: Where is Health and Wellbeing?” The underrepresentation of health and wellbeing considerations is a critical gap in current and emergin net zero standards. How can we better integrate human health outcomes into sustainable building practices and policies? Panelists Julie Godefroy, Head of Sustainability at CIBSE, and yournalist and researcher Kate de Selincourt will discuss.

The UK Indoor Environments Group (UKIEG) was launched in 2003, with the aim to co-ordinate and provide a focus for UK activity concerned with improving indoor environments for people. SDF Director Jon Bootland sits on the conference steering group.
