Buildings, the suppression of seasonal response and the effects on health.

Auteurs : DEAN Y., WARWICK S.

Type d'article : Article

Résumé

The authors state that the function of a building is to provide not just shelter and comfort, but to actively promote a healthy physiology. The article provides a review of the fields of environmental medicine and biometeorology and proposes that as buildings provide the main climate that people live in, this may affect seasonal response and could be a prime causal agent for ill health and sick building syndrome. The authors also state that if this knowledge can be used as a predictive tool in the design and control of the built environment then it could make a significant impact on health and assist in achieving an 'engineered' health care environment, as a major factor in primary health care.
