The Fourth International Conference on Energy and Indoor Environment for Hot Climates will take place April 7–8, 2027, in Doha, Qatar, bringing together researchers, engineers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to address one of today’s most pressing challenges: creating healthy, energy-efficient, and sustainable indoor environments in hot climate regions.

 

As global temperatures continue to rise and cooling demand increases, buildings must provide excellent indoor air quality, occupant comfort, and resilience while minimizing energy use and environmental impact. This conference offers a unique opportunity to share innovative research, practical solutions, and emerging technologies that advance healthier and more sustainable built environments.

 

ASHRAE is seeking 300-word abstracts for full manuscripts to be presented at the conference. Authors are encouraged to submit original research, case studies, and innovative applications that contribute to advancing healthy indoor environments and sustainable building practices in hot climates.

 

The scientific committee seeks papers on topics including, but not limited to:

 

• Indoor Air Quality Systems

 

• Lessons Learned from IAQ Systems in Developing Countries

 

• Energy-Efficient Systems for Healthy Indoor Environments

 

• Air-Conditioning and Refrigerating Systems

 

• Outdoor Cooling

 

• Sustainability in Buildings

 

• Building Decarbonization

 

• Energy and Sustainable Development

 

• Climate Change Impacts on Buildings

 

• Healthy Indoor Environment Protocols

 

• Renewable Energy Technologies

 

• Indoor Environmental Pollution Sources

 

• Air Cleaner Performance

 

• Advances in Filter Materials

 

• Low-Emitting Materials for Better IAQ
