Produced by CPI Industry, publishers of Climate Control Middle East magazine, the World IEQ Forum is a mission-critical conference that brings together policymakers; regulators; civil, structural and MEP disciplines; architects; healthcare professionals; and building owners in aviation, education, healthcare, hospitality, retail and other sectors.

It typically addresses a broad sweep of Indoor Environmental Quality issues, but the 6th edition, to be held against the backdrop of the protracted pandemic, will seek to specifically address IAQ issues with a view to advancing the understanding of design, installation and O&M strategies and solutions in the built-environment.

Dr Husain is a research scientist and Division Director of Operation at the Energy and Building Research Center (EBRC) at KISR. Dr Al-Attar is a mechanical engineer. He is a Visiting Academic Fellow in the School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing at Cranfield University, in the United Kingdom. Dr Al-Attar’s area of expertise is the performance of high-efficiency pleated filters for HVAC and land-based gas turbine applications, with special emphasis on the chemical and physical characterisation of airborne particles.

“Kuwait’s presence in the World IEQ Forum through Dr Adel and Dr Iyad is a wonderful development, for it not only gives a pan-GCC-region perspective to the event but also provides an opportunity to listen to a fount of specialised expertise and experience on such subjects as energy efficiency and Indoor Air Quality, specifically the science and technology of air filtration,” said Surendar Balakrishnan, Co-Founder & Editorial Director, CPI Industry. “It is important to as much receive a granular perspective on the challenges at hand and to listen to the array of sophisticated solutions to combat COVID-19.”

To date, the 6^th edition of the World IEQ Forum has attracted confirmation of participation from a galaxy of prominent GCC region-level and international speakers. It is co-hosted by Systemair and will see participation from ASHRAE, Eurovent Middle East, Camfil and Condair, amongst others.
