Indoor and Built Environment (IBE)

Indoor and Built Environment is an international, peer-reviewed journal published by SAGE Publications that serves as a leading platform for scholarly research at the intersection of environmental science, architecture, engineering, and public health. Since its founding in 1992, the journal has advanced knowledge about how physical environments — from individual buildings to urban systems — affect the comfort, safety and health of occupants. Traditional subjects include indoor air quality, ventilation and airflow, contaminant exposure, thermal comfort, lighting, sound environments, material emissions, energy-efficient design, and building system performance. A key feature of this journal is its multi-disciplinary approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative research methodologies from engineering, environmental health sciences, architecture, and building sciences. The journal not only highlights fundamental research but also translates findings into practical implications for design guides, environmental standards, and sustainable policy frameworks that inform professionals and regulators. Its readership includes researchers, building designers, facility managers, environmental health practitioners and regulatory agencies. With frequent publication of original research papers, reviews and technical notes, Indoor and Built Environment plays an important role in shaping contemporary debates on sustainable, healthy and comfortable environments for work and living.
