Summary

A cross sectional survey was conducted in an air-conditioned building and a naturally ventilated building to establish the prevalence of sick building syndrome (SBS) in these Johannesburg buildings. Numerous studies conducted in other countries have found that the prevalence of SBS symptoms are usually higher in sealed air-conditioned buildings than in naturally ventilated buildings. The study found that the prevalence of sick building syndrome type symptoms in the naturally ventilated building were higher than those in the air-conditioned building.
