Just as governments ensure safe water, reliable power, and secure buildings, they must now ensure clean indoor air For decades, governments have invested heavily in physical infrastructure - roads, power, water, and telecommunications - recognising their foundational role in economic growth, social stability, and public well-being. Yet one critical system remains largely invisible in national planning: the air people breathe inside buildings . Indoor air quality (IAQ) is no

Indoor Air Quality For Schools Is Becoming a Strategic Priority in the GCC & MENA. Education thrives in environments where students can breathe easily, focus clearly, and stay well. For schools and universities across the GCC and MENA, indoor air quality is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It is a strategic investment in student outcomes, educator well-being, and the long-term resilience of national education systems.

Hospital-Acquired Infections Are a Critical Healthcare Issue. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), also known as nosocomial infections, are a persistent and costly global health challenge. In clinical settings where patients, caregivers, and visitors share indoor spaces for prolonged periods, these infections can spread through contact and airborne routes - making indoor air quality (IAQ) a critical part of infection prevention.

Improved Indoor Air Quality: A Strategic Opportunity for Health, Efficiency, and Business Growth. Indoor air quality (IAQ) in homes and workplaces is no longer a niche concern. It represents a growing opportunity to improve occupant health, reduce operating costs, and create meaningful differentiation in a competitive HVAC and building services market. When addressed correctly, IAQ initiatives deliver dual benefits: measurable health improvements for occupants and tangible en

Why Improved Indoor Air Quality Must Be Part of the Climate and Health Conversation. The recent United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week drew attention to climate commitments, emissions targets, and long-term sustainability strategies. Yet one of the most immediate and actionable issues affecting human health and environmental performance is much closer to home: indoor air quality.

Why Indoor Air Quality in Oman Must Be a Priority, As Oman continues its transition toward a more sustainable and diversified economy under Oman Vision 2040, the performance of our buildings - and the environments they create - is coming under increasing scrutiny. While energy efficiency and water conservation remain central to this discussion, one critical factor still does not receive the attention it deserves: indoor air quality (IAQ).

How We Make Each Other Sick Indoors. In hospitals, schools, offices, and hotels across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, people spend most of their time inside sealed, continuously air-conditioned buildings. In these environments, indoor air quality is no longer just a comfort issue - it has become a critical factor affecting public health, performance, productivity, and institutional reputation.

Mosques and Indoor Air Quality. Places of worship are among the most important shared indoor environments in the GCC. Mosques, churches, temples, and prayer halls welcome large numbers of people daily, often multiple times a day, and play a central role in community life. Yet from a building performance perspective, they present a unique and frequently overlooked challenge.
