Healthy Buildings America Conference

Healthy Buildings America Conference will convene in Syracuse, New York, at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown, focusing on the crucial intersections of climate change, public health disparities, aging infrastructure, and rising construction costs. This international conference is set against the backdrop of a region renowned for its innovation, urban reinvention, and commitment to environmental stewardship.

The conference theme, “Intelligent Environments: Designing, Retrofitting and Operating for a Healthy, Affordable and Resilient Future,” invites global experts including researchers, designers, engineers, and policymakers to engage in discussions that aim to foster intelligent environments that prioritize human health, sustainability, affordability, durability, and climate resilience.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge technologies and collaborative, community-driven design methods that promote healthier indoor environments across all types of buildings and communities. Keynote speakers and expert panelists from Syracuse University, including esteemed professors such as Jianshun Jensen Zhang, Peng Gao, Brooks Gump, Bess Krietemeyer, and many others, will share their insights on both new constructions and the transformative retrofitting of existing buildings.

The event also emphasizes the importance of effective policies and scalable solutions that contribute to the overall well-being of indoor environments. The International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ), established in 1992, will play a foundational role in this conference, promoting interdisciplinary communication and research collaboration to enhance indoor air quality and the health of indoor environments.
