Technical Seminar on Understanding Indoor Air Quality by YEA RRL – Mohamed Faizal

We successfully hosted the technical session on “Understanding IAQ: Challenges, Importance, and Requisites” in Muscat, and the response was overwhelming with 140+ delegates joining us from consultants, end users, contractors, and developers.

This session was more than just a technical deep-dive, it was a platform to raise critical awareness about Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and its direct link to healthy buildings, perfectly aligning with ASHRAE President (2025-26) William McQuade theme: Healthy Buildings: Designing For Life

Key Takeaways:
IAQ is not just a compliance issue, it’s a health and productivity priority.
We explored the technical, regulatory, and design aspects that define modern, efficient, and healthy indoor environments. Engaged in rich discussions and peer networking that sparked new collaborations and ideas.

A big thank you to: ASHRAE RAL for organizing and ASHRAE Oman for hosting and Clivet Middle East & Africa Clivet SpA for sponsoring. Of course, to every attendee who made this evening impactful and insightful.
