Conference on indoor air quality

Healthy Buildings 2003, Singapore

Due to the SARS outbreak, the conference "Healthy Buildings 2003",
Singapore, was postponed from July to December 7-12, 2003.

The "Indoor Air Quality and Climate in Cultural and Heritage
Collections" workshop at Healthy Buildings 2003 will be held on
Monday December 8, 2003, 13:30-15:00

The conference has the Aims and Scope:

    *   To increase the awareness of healthy indoor environment and
        energy-efficient building globally, including a special
        theme for developing countries.

    *   To create a multi-disciplinary forum on the development and
        advances made in the field of indoor air quality and climate
        to achieve healthy, comfortable and productive environments.

    *   To allow interactions among scientists, policy makers,
        medical, legal and building professionals on the application
        of state-of-the-art research to practical problems
        encountered in the design, construction, operation and
        retrofitting of buildings.

    *   The scope of the Conference covers all building

Even though the main scope of this conference is not pointed toward
cultural heritage, there are usually a handful of papers during the
conference on this topic. And, as for the last HB conference
(Helsinki 2000) and Indoor Air conference (Monterey 2002), there
will be a workshop session on "Indoor Air Quality and Climate in
Cultural and Heritage Collections", hosted by the International
Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ).

Time and date for the workshop is not set yet, but the programme
will be available at <URL:http://www.hb2003.org> when ready. Those
interested in the workshop session can also contact me directly at
