BACKGROUND
Healthy building design is strongly influenced by outdoor climate of various scales, i.e. regional, city and neighbourhood, as well as future climate change and extremes. For example, the intense urban heat island effect and high air pollution level in megacities could restrict the use of natural ventilation for buildings, reduce the access to the fresh air and increase the indoor air pollution. In a similar fashion, at the neighbourhood scale, the urban design at the immediate surrounding of the building such as tree planting, building block arrangement, and location of the water body will affect the building environmental performance and even occupant’s mental health.
Due to climate change, the outdoor environment will face more intense changes in temperature and humidity in the long-term. Concentrations of some typical outdoor pollutants, such as ozone, may also be affected. Under this context, the traditional healthy building design considering one isolated building and present climate is therefore challenged in terms of achieving a healthy indoor environment and adapting to the future climate. In this workshop, we will explore the research opportunities by providing a holistic view of connecting indoor and outdoor environment for healthy living under present and future climates.
AIMS AND SCOPE
This workshop aims to advance our understanding on the interaction of indoor and outdoor climate under the background of climate change and urbanization. The scope of the workshop includes but not limited to:
1) Climate change and indoor environmental quality
2) Urban climate and indoor environmental quality
3) Behaviour change on IEQ from climate change and urbanization
4) Multi-scale approach to address IEQ problems
