About this ebook
""Sick Building Syndrome"" explores the pervasive issue of poor indoor air quality and its impact on health. It examines how modern, tightly sealed buildings, while energy-efficient, can trap pollutants, leading to symptoms like headaches and fatigue. Did you know that the average person spends approximately 90% of their time indoors, making indoor air quality a critical determinant of overall well-being? The book uniquely integrates building science with practical strategies, addressing not just symptoms but also the root causes of SBS, empowering readers to create healthier environments.
The book begins by defining Sick Building Syndrome and differentiating its symptoms from other conditions, then progresses to explore causes like inadequate ventilation and chemical contaminants. It also provides diagnostic methods, from DIY tests to advanced monitoring, before offering actionable solutions such as improving ventilation systems and selecting low-VOC materials. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding, helping building managers, HR professionals, and concerned individuals proactively manage their indoor environments.
