Healthy Buildings America: June 20 - 23, 2027
As the world faces converging challenges of climate change, public health disparities, aging infrastructure, and rising construction costs, Healthy Buildings 2027 America will focus on solutions that are intelligent, inclusive, cost-effective, and future-ready. Hosted in Syracuse, New York—a region at the intersection of innovation, urban reinvention, and environmental stewardship—this international conference will explore how we can create intelligent environments that promote human health, sustainability, affordability, durability, and climate resilience.
The theme for Healthy Buildings 2027 America, “Intelligent Environments: Designing, Retrofitting and Operating for a Healthy, Affordable and Resilient Future”, invites global researchers, designers, engineers, and policymakers to share insights on both cutting-edge new buildings and transformative retrofitting of existing spaces. The conference will highlight scalable, effective and efficient technologies, collaborative community-driven design methods and practices, and policy pathways to healthier indoor environments across all building types and communities.
Healthy Buildings 2027 America will take place on June 20-23, 2027, at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown in Syracuse, New York, USA. The conference is hosted by the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems (SyracuseCoE).

About ISIAQ
The International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ) was founded in 1992 by 109 international scientists and practitioners. It is an international, independent, multidisciplinary, scientific, non-profit organization whose purpose is to support the creation of healthy, comfortable and productivity-encouraging indoor environments.
As a Society, our main objective is to actively promote international and interdisciplinary communication and the exchange of valuable information pertaining to the indoor environment, indoor air, climate, science, and health. We do so by diligently publishing and encouraging the publication of research and studies in the field.
Moreover, we take great pride in organizing, sponsoring, and supporting various initiatives like meetings, conferences, and seminars, all dedicated to shedding light on the importance of indoor air quality and climate. In addition, we remain committed to developing, adapting, and maintaining guidelines that serve as a blueprint for enhancing indoor air quality and ensuring a healthy indoor environment.
Furthermore, our dedication to this cause extends to our collaboration with government bodies, agencies, and other societies that share a common interest in the well-being of the indoor environment and the impact it has on human health. By working together, we strive to create a cleaner and healthier indoor environment for all.
