Indoor Environmental Quality, Health and Performance

Dear Colleagues,

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) plays an important role in how we feel, work, and stay healthy indoors. This Special Issue focuses on understanding how factors like indoor air quality, temperature, noise, and light affect our health, comfort, and performance. As people spend most of their time indoors, improving IEQ is critical for well-being and productivity.

The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the link between IEQ and outcomes such as physical health (e.g., respiratory issues), mental well-being, and how well people can perform tasks. We welcome studies that assess IEQ, propose solutions for common issues, or introduce new technologies to improve indoor spaces.

This issue is open to research in homes, schools, offices, hospitals, and other indoor settings. Authors can submit original research, case studies, or reviews. We encourage work that connects different fields like health sciences, engineering, and building design to provide practical solutions.

By bringing together a range of studies, this Special Issue hopes to offer new ideas and evidence to improve indoor spaces. The goal is to share knowledge that can help to create healthier and more comfortable environments for everyone.
