Why indoor air quality problems occur in buildings.

Author(s) : ROBERTSON A. J.

Summary

Surveys of over 1,600 major buildings across 41 countries give clear indicators as to the cause of indoor air quality problems. Much of the data supports common-sense thinking about how buildings should be designed and operated (education is better than legislative approach). In almost every country in the developed world, architects and engineers have designed buildings to the lowest common denominator rather than in the pursuit of excellence. They do this to fit within the owners budget, little realising that superior indoor-air quality can be provided very cost effectively.
