Nearly 40% of the energy consumed worldwide is used by buildings. The air conditioning systems took up between 40 and 60 percent of the buildings' total energy consumption. Metropolitan regions have been rapidly urbanizing, which has resulted in urban heat island (UHI) effect, which are caused by heat production and solar radiation absorption.  Buildings' need of air conditioning will rise even more as UHI rises.

Due to the high temperatures, high air moisture content, poor ventilation, and widespread use of air conditioning and recirculated air, it is very difficult to maintain buildings' indoor comfortable conditions that are both thermally and healthy to prevent the sick building syndrome (SBS). In this context, it is crucial to create solutions to manage tropical indoor and outdoor environments in order to reduce energy use and pollutant emissions.

The first joint international research colloquium is organized by the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) and the University Sains Malaysia (USM), under the direction of Prof. Dr. Napoleon Enteria of the Mechanical Engineering and Technology Department of MSU-IIT and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohd Hafizal Mohd Isa of the USM School of Housing, Building & Planning, this May 25–26, 2023.

Graduate and research students from MSU-IIT and USM will exchange a variety of study results. A special lecture on natural ventilation in buildings will be given by a University of Nottingham faculty member. It is envisaged that this research colloquium will strengthen cooperation between MSU-IIT and USM in tackling problems connected to tropical ventilation, air conditioning, building sciences, architecture, and urban planning.
