Journal
The society owns a journal, Indoor Environments {{issn|2950-3620}}, which is published by Elsevier. It formerly had Indoor Air, owned by Wiley, as its official journal, but the society ended that relationship after Wiley decided to move the journal to an open access model effective October 11, 2022 and the journal's editors resigned in response.{{Cite web |title=Indoor Air Journal Update|date= 2022-10-06 |url=https://viethconsulting.com/news_archive_headlines.php?org_id=ISIA&sniid=32442557 |access-date=2024-07-10 |website= International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate}}
