This book is a compilation of selected papers from the 5th International Conference on Building Energy and Environment (COBEE2022), held in Montreal, Canada, in July 2022. The work focuses on the most recent technologies and knowledge of building energy and the environment, including health, energy, urban microclimate, smart cities, safety, etc. The contents make valuable contributions to academic researchers, engineers in the industry, and regulators of buildings. As well, readers encounter new ideas for achieving healthy, comfortable, energy-efficient, resilient, and safe buildings.

Dr. Wang is currently a full professor and associate director of the Centre for Zero Energy Building Studies (CZEBS) at Concordia. He joined Concordia in August 2010 and has been the Concordia University Research Chair (CURC) - in Building Airflow and Thermal Management. He earned the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA, in 2007. He then worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Group, Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA.  

Dr. Wang is a voting member and vice-chair of the TC 4.10 - Indoor Environmental Modeling of ASHRAE and the editorial member of the International Journal of Energy and Buildings (Sectional Editor); Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics; Journal of Building Simulation. Dr. Wang is the recipient of the 2013 Best Paper Award from Building and Environment and the BFRL Distinguished Associate Award of the US NIST. His work on air curtains has contributed directly to the associated International Energy Conservation Codes (IECC), Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA), and ASHRAE 189.1 and 90.1 codes and standards. Dr. Wang has over 100 scholarly publications in journals, conferences, and technical reports. His current research focuses on building ventilation and air quality, heat and mass transfer in buildings, urban building energy modeling, urban microclimate, and zero energy building technologies.
