Indoor Air 2018 | Professor David Peter Wyon (Denmark) | In recognition of the consistent, lifelong and outstanding scientific contributions to understanding the effects of indoor environment on human performance. |
Indoor Air 2016 | Professor Aino Nevalainen (Finland) | In recognition of her scholarly contributions towards advancing knowledge in the indoor air sciences, especially microbial pollution and related health effects. |
Indoor Air 2008 | Professor Ib Andersen (Denmark) | Professor Andersen was the first European scientist to conduct major studies on indoor air quality and its implications for human health. He conducted classic studies on formaldehyde emissions from building materials. He built the first indoor-air climate research group, in Aarhus, Denmark. Later, he transformed the Danish NIOSH into a center for indoor climate research, with subsequent contributions of worldwide significance. He was strongly involved in initiating the landmark study on office environments and health, the Danish Town Hall study. Professor Andersen also contributed significantly to the founding of ISIAQ, the Academy, and the journal "Indoor Air." |
