The buildings we design, operate and maintain have never carried more responsibility
Indoor air is now a boardroom conversation.
Sustainability isn’t a “nice to have.”
And the built environment is where public health, ESG, and performance intersect.
That’s why Airmid Healthgroup is hosting the ASHRAE Ireland AGM and Technical Webinar -to bring the science, the standards, and the strategy together in one room.
Why This Event Signals a Shift
This year’s lineup includes two of the most influential figures shaping air quality globally:
- Dr John McKeon
CEO of Airmid and Principal at the iAIR Institute. A member of ASHRAE’s Environmental Health Committee, Dr McKeon brings a unique cross-section of clinical science and built environment strategy. - Dr Marwa Zaatari
ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer and Chair of the Environmental Health Committee. Her work on IAQ is helping redefine global building benchmarks.
This isn’t a talk shop. It’s a blueprint for what’s next.
Why It Matters Now
Fresh from a visit by ASHRAE President Dennis Knight, Ireland is being recognised for leadership in indoor environmental quality and innovation.
The agenda reflects that:
Emerging talent and student innovation
Technical insights on ASHRAE Standard 62.1 IAQP
A real-world view of sustainability from multiple lenses: scientific, operational, and strategic
Designed for Decision Makers
This event is built for professionals who:
Influence the built environment at scale
Care about ESG, health outcomes, and IAQ
Want to be seen as ahead of the curve, not catching up to it

The agenda for the ASHRAE Ireland AGM and Technical Webinar at Airmid Healthgroup outlines key events, including talks from Dr John McKeon and Dr Marwa Zaatari, student awards, and governance updates.
