Abstract
Background: While the COVID-19 pandemic has officially ended, it remains a significant era that profoundly tests humanity’s ability to solve challenges across various domains related to health hazards’ crisis management, technological innovation, and requestioning the management of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in different building typologies.Methods: This study examines early publications related to IAQ during the early phase of the pandemic, from March 2020 to August 2021, to identify thematic research areas anticipated to shape the scientific community’s future interests for at least the following 10 years. This study proposes an analytical framework to further interpret the identified thematic areas of research related to IAQ based on intentionality and impact.Results: Topics included the spatial design of indoor environments, occupants’ health, thermal comfort, building performance and ventilation, technology use and energy efficiency, as well as health and social equity. The authors commented on key topics requiring immediate attention from architects, building operators, and researchers.
