Research Seminar: Optimising Indoor Environments for Health and Wellbeing

Overview

The ASHRAE Student Branch at the University of Strathclyde, in collaboration with the Strathclyde Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy-Efficient Indoor Climate Control for Optimised Health (EICCOH), hosted an informal research seminar on healthy buildings and indoor environments.

The seminar brought together PhD students, early career researchers, academics, and industry professionals to share research, discuss new ideas, and build connections across disciplines related to health, housing, and energy-efficient building design.

Seminar Topics

The seminar included discussions on topics such as:

• Ventilation and indoor air quality and their impact on respiratory health
• Using housing and health data to support early risk identification
• Occupant behaviour in energy-efficient homes
• Equity, diversity, and inclusion in indoor climate standards and building design
• Early life environmental exposures and their effects on health and learning
• Evaluating indoor climate control strategies in energy-efficient buildings

Research Presentations

The event featured short presentations from researchers, together with invited talks from industry professionals. Participants had the opportunity to share their work, exchange ideas, and receive valuable feedback in a friendly and supportive environment.

Networking

A networking lunch was held before the seminar, giving attendees the opportunity to meet fellow researchers, academics, and industry representatives and develop new professional connections.
