Buildings and health. Indoor climate and effective energy use

Abstract

The indoor climate in our dwellings, offices, schools and other premises is of decisive importance for the health and well-being of their occupants. Health and comfort problems associated with the indoor climate have, however, come to constitute a major problem in recent years. A conclusion is that the hygienic and climatic requirements frequently are neglected, and that they must reassume a central position in the building and building management process. Greater demands must be made on the quality of materials, on responsibility and competence in the building process and on the overall strategy for energy conservation in conjunction with both new construction and modernization. Present-day knowledge of health problems associated with the indoor climate and an overview of the possibilities to solve these problems are presented in this knowledge survey.
