About the conference
History
CASANZ first dedicated a conference to this critical issue in 1994, in collaboration with the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ). Chaired by Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska, that inaugural event established a key consensus: comprehensive solutions can only be achieved through integrated approaches at all levels of research, investigation, and practice.
In 2025, we return to this mission—bringing together global experts to examine the state of IAQ, drive evidence-based decision-making, and shape the future of indoor air management.
Conference theme
The 2025 conference will explore Paradigm Shifts—the transformative changes shaping indoor air quality (IAQ) research, policy, and practice. As science advances and global challenges evolve, traditional approaches to IAQ management must adapt to new evidence, technologies, and expectations.
This theme challenges us to rethink outdated models, bridge gaps between public and occupational health, and embrace innovative solutions that safeguard indoor environments across all building types. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we’ll redefine best practices and drive meaningful progress toward healthier indoor spaces for all.
