🎉Happy New Year! We begin anew with the successful launch of our P Block Project held at QUT (Queensland University of Technology) on 12 December 2025.

This project is a world-first initiative, led by D/Prof Lidia Morawskato demonstrate that existing buildings can meet proposed indoor air quality (IAQ) standards. The three-year project will retrofit P Block, the 13-year-old Science and Engineering Building at Gardens Point, transforming it into a real-world model for IAQ excellence. It will monitor and validate air quality improvements aligned with proposed global standards designed to safeguard human health.

The initiative was inaugurated by QUT’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Margaret Sheil AO, and Registrar, Ms Leanne Harvey, alongside key academic and industry partners.
