The following Special Issue will be published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health - IJERPH (ISSN 1660-4601, http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/), and is now open to receive submissions of full research papers and comprehensive review articles for peer-review and possible publication: Special Issue: Energy Conservation Measures, Indoor Air Quality and Health Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/ijerph/indoor_air_quality/ Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 August 2012 Dear Colleagues, Our changing climate is poised to affect the health of human populations through numerous pathways. One such pathway is via the modification of indoor environments, which are directly linked to extreme weather events and long-term climate conditions (Institute of Medicine. Climate Change, the Indoor Environmental and Health, Wash DC: National Academies Press, 2011). In addition to direct outdoor effects on exposures and health, society's attempts to adapt and mitigate these effects may also have notable consequences for indoor environments. For example, a warmer atmosphere with increased outdoor air pollution, forest fires, pollen and dust, heat waves, excessive rainfall, droughts and the longer-term aberrations of regional climates would impact building performance and occupant health. As we attempt to reduce the footprint of human activity, the modification of our housing and commercial buildings may also negatively affect indoor air quality and occupant health. These risks are real for both the developed and developing world. This issue will highlight new research and analyses on how indoor environments and human health are affected by climate change and our responses to this challenge. Research papers, analytical reviews, case studies, conceptual frameworks, and policy-relevant articles are solicited. Of particular interest are articles assessing the consequences of energy conservation programs involving low-income populations. We also encourage authors to submit studies which address issues and approaches relevant to developing countries. Professor John D. Spengler Dr. Gary Adamkiewicz Guest Editors This Special Issue will be fully open access. We encourage authors to send us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the Editorial Office at ijerph@mdpi.com. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 1 June 2012.
