A conversation with Iyad Al-Attar

We discussed the intersection of sustainable urban development and air quality and how zooming out from the building level brings a different perspective on air quality.

As you might expect, we discuss the state-of-the-art and performance gaps in the filter sector.

It was an expansive and fascinating conversation with a prolific figure in air quality and filtration in the industry.

Iyad is a mechanical engineer, air quality consultant, and a visiting academic fellow at the School of Aerospace, Transport, and Manufacturing at Cranfield University.

He is the strategic director, instructor, and advisory board member of the
Waterloo Filtration Institute.

In 2020, Eurovent Middle East appointed Dr. Al-Attar as the first associated consultant for air filtration and most recently he became the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) patron for EUROVENT.

A strong advocate for global government to play a significant role in the governance of embedding air quality monitoring and enhancement as a pillar of the built environment.

He is reading for an MSc in sustainable urban development for air quality inclusion at the University of Oxford, where his research addresses the importance of air quality inclusion as a rudiment of sustainable urban development.
