This appointment ensures that the latest scientific research and engineering solutions are translated into real-world outcomes that benefit both building performance and human health.
International Leadership in Indoor Air Quality and Environmental Health
Dr. McKeon’s influence extends well beyond Ireland. Within ASHRAE International, he serves on the Environmental Health Committee (EHC) and is the Research Chair of Technical Committee TG2.RAST (Reactive Air and Surface Treatment). These leadership roles allow him to advance critical work in:
Defining IAQ standards as a cornerstone of building performance
Aligning sustainability goals with health-focused outcomes
Developing evidence-based guidelines for air cleaning and surface treatment technologies
His contributions are helping shape the future of IAQ policy, ensuring it is recognized globally as an essential component of sustainability, public health, and resilience.
A Milestone for Health-Focused Building Innovation
This achievement represents more than personal recognition for Dr. McKeon: it is also a milestone for Airmid Healthgroup and for the broader recognition of the link between the built environment and human wellbeing. Having a medical doctor serve in such a prominent ASHRAE leadership role demonstrates the value of integrating clinical insights into building standards and design.
At Airmid, we believe that healthier buildings lead to healthier lives. Dr. McKeon’s appointment reinforces the need for continued interdisciplinary collaboration between medicine, engineering, and building science to make advancements in the field of healthy indoor environments.
