Case studies of three office buildings were undertaken in order to determine whether the phenomenon known as 'sick building syndrome' (SBS) creates a lasting economic stigma after a proven or alleged SBS problem is corrected, and whether undertaking preventive measures against factors known to cause SBS at the development stage is a prudent investment of additional resources.

Testo completoThere are clear health benefits of having a relative humidity between 40–60% indoors. Despite this, there are currently no directives on what level the relative humidity should be indoors. Today dehumidification is a common matter but this report is about humidification, from a health perspective.In this study, it has been investigated whether humidification could be used to a greater extent, to the benefit of humans’ health.This report describes various humidification methods and their thermophysical processes - adiabatic and isothermal. It is also explained what happens to the energy in the air and water vapor at different temperatures and how the relative humidity affects our health at different levels.The result shows that there is a need for humidification and that there are several technical solutions available today. However, the demand is low and the industry is not very positive to the idea of humidification in ventilation systems.

Testo completoAccording to the data of Word Health Organization, about 30 percent of the buildings in the developing countries, both newly-built and reconstructed, have the so-called sick building syndrome (SBS). The people who spend an extended period of time in such a building tend to begin having various health complaints. It is assumed that from 10 to 30 percent of the people who work in such buildings start having such complaints. Aim of the study: to examine the nature and the frequency of the workers’ complaints regarding the health and working conditions, and to analyze the collected data accounting for such variables as sex, age and occupation; to determine the reasons which condition the occurrence of the sick building syndrome. Methods. The research was conducted using the method of online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 51 questions and was completed by 302 respondents. All of the respondents were working adults. Results. The number of complaints about working conditions received from women exceeded that received from men. Women reported feeling various symptoms while at work more frequently. The number of complaints about working conditions from those who held administrative positions was lower. The people from this group reported feeling various symptoms less frequently, in comparison with the people who held other positions. They also had more possibilities to assure suitable parameters of the working environment. There were no significant differences among... [to full text]

Testo completoFormulada a hipÃtese de que o municÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte tem deixado a desejar no que diz respeito à sustentabilidade das construÃÃes, este trabalho pretende fazer um diagnÃstico deste municÃpio mediante o estudo de suas residÃncias jà consolidadas. Mesmo com comprovada relevÃncia econÃmica nas atividades da construÃÃo civil no municÃpio, a preocupaÃÃo com o planejamento, implantaÃÃo e execuÃÃo das construÃÃes parecem nÃo fazer parte da âculturaâ da maior parte da populaÃÃo local. As construÃÃes e suas tÃcnicas construtivas tem se desenvolvido com a finalidade Ãnica de prover abrigo, sem a preocupaÃÃo com uma melhor utilizaÃÃo dos recursos naturais e com a saÃde de seus ocupantes. à notÃrio o alto Ãndice de construÃÃes que fazem uso de ausÃncia de recuos, divisÃo de ambientes internos sem janelas para Ãrea externa, exaustÃo de diversos gazes e compostos orgÃnicos volÃteis que poluem a atmosfera e reduzem a saÃde dos seres vivos, descarte de Ãguas servidas nas ruas, alto consumo energÃtico, calÃadas inacessÃveis, inexistÃncia de coleta seletiva de resÃduos domiciliares, ausÃncia de Ãreas permeÃveis das Ãguas das chuvas, entre outros. Consequentemente estas residÃncias se encaixam no perfil do que se conhece por "sÃndrome do edifÃcio doente". Com base nisto, esta pesquisa à justificada pela busca da inserÃÃo de um desenvolvimento urbano e arquitetÃnico sustentÃvel, equilibrado, justo, acessÃvel e que provenha melhor qualidade de vida, atà mesmo de saÃde, para os habitantes desta cidade. A pesquisa objetiva caracterizar e analisar a evoluÃÃo das construÃÃes no municÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte sob o viÃs da sustentabilidade mediante do estudo das metodologias vigentes de avaliaÃÃo de construÃÃes sustentÃveis, da legislaÃÃo local pertinente, de amostras de plantas de residÃncias unifamiliares e da elaboraÃÃo de mapas urbanos que caracterizem as construÃÃes. Concluindo assim que o municÃpio, ao longo dos anos, em sua maioria, entra em desconformidade com as diretrizes bÃsicas de construÃÃes sustentÃveis e com seu sistema local de regularizaÃÃo, o plano diretor de desenvolvimento urbano.
Hypothesized that the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte has left much to be desired with regard to the sustainability of buildings, this work aims to make a diagnostic of this municipality through the study of their homes already consolidated. Even with proven relevance in economic activities of construction in the municipality, the concern with the planning, implementation and execution of the buildings seem not to be part of the "culture" of most of the local population. The buildings and their construction techniques have been developed for the sole purpose of providing shelter, without worrying about making better use of natural resources and the health of its occupants. It is noticeable that high level constructions make no use of setbacks, divisions inside are without windows to the outside area. Various exhaust gases and volatile organic compounds pollute the atmosphere and reduce the health of living beings. The disposal of wastewater in streets, high energy consumption, inaccessible sidewalks, the lack of selective collection of household waste and the lack of permeable areas for rainwater are among some other negative conditions. Consequently, these homes fit the profile of what is known as "sick building syndrome". Based on these facts, research is justified for the pursuit of insertion of urban development and architectural sustainable, balanced, fair, and affordable homes that offer a better quality of life and even health for the inhabitants of this city. The research aims to characterize and analyze the evolution of the buildings in the city of Juazeiro under the bias of sustainability through the study of current evaluation methodologies for sustainable buildings, local legislation for relevant plant samples of single-family homes and mapping that characterize urban constructions. In conclusion, the city over the years mostly comes into disagreement with the basic guidelines for sustainable buildings and for the local system of regularization. Therefore the master plan for urban development is required to improve the quality of the municipality.

Testo completoOccupants of artificially conditioned indoor spaces are continuously and lengthily exposed to environmental conditions mostly adverse to their activities performance and health maintenance. The purpose of this research was to evaluate some indoor air quality and thermal comfort parameters of an artificially conditioned building, and relate them to the employment of underfloor air conditioning system in spaces that differ from open-plan office spaces. Considering the studied building presents different activities on each of its floors it was necessary to choose two of them, one characterized by classrooms layout and the other by a semi open-plan office layout. The on-site data collection took place in three different steps. Step one was distinguished by three six-month cycles of air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity measurements, and fungi, particulate matter and carbon dioxide concentrations. The second step consisted of a four-day single campaign of measurements, when air temperature and relative humidity profiles were carried out, air velocity was quantified in complaining areas, and the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) thermal comfort indexes were determined. During the third and last step, indoor environmental quality questionnaire surveys were distributed to the occupants of both studied floors. Data analysis and assessment originated from the cycles identified exceeding fungi and carbon dioxide concentrations. Temperature profiles indicated their prevalence below the recommended range. PMV and PPD indexes determination pointed to a scenery of best thermal environmental conditions for the researched spaces, with an operative temperature of 24 Celsius degrees. The results of the questionnaire surveys supported the air temperature measurements, showing supremacy of cold related thermal sensations among the occupants, especially those of female gender. It was evident that the thermal comfort of the studied environments is a disturbing factor for the activities practiced on both floors. There was a great number of occupants reporting Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) typical symptoms, what suggested actions related to indoor environmental quality should be taken in order to provide the desired health, welfare and productivity for the building occupants. It was conclusive that the operation and maintenance of underfloor air conditioned systems in indoor environments unlike open-plan offices are more complex and therefore make it harder to reach an acceptable indoor environmental quality.

Testo completoIn this thesis the oxidation of monoterpenes by O3 and NO2 and factors that influenced the oxidation were studied. In the environment both ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are present as oxidising gases, which causes sampling artefacts when using Tenax TA as an adsorbent to sample organic compounds in the air. A scrubber was developed to remove O3 and NO2 prior to the sampling tube, and artefacts during sampling were minimised when using the scrubber. The main organic compounds sampled in this thesis were two monoterpenes, alfa-pinene and delta-3-carene, due to their presence in both indoor and outdoor air. The recovery of the monoterpenes through the scrubber varied between 75-97% at relative humidities of 15-75%.
The reactions of alfa-pinene and delta-3-carene with O 3, NO2 and nitric oxide (NO) at different relative humidities (RHs) and reaction times were studied in a dark reaction chamber. The experiments were planned and performed according to an experimental design were the factors influencing the reaction (O3, NO2, NO, RH and reaction times) were varied between high and low levels. In the experiments up to 13% of the monoterpenes reacted when O3, NO2, and reaction time were at high levels, and NO, and RH were at low levels. In the evaluation eight and seven factors (including both single and interaction factors) were found to influence the amount of alfa-pinene and delta-3-carene reacted, respectively. The three most influencing factors for both of the monoterpenes were the O 3 level, the reaction time, and the RH. Increased O3 level and reaction time increased the amount of monoterpene reacted, and increased RH decreased the amount reacted.
A theoretical model of the reactions occurring in the reaction chamber was created. The amount of monoterpene reacted at different initial settings of O3, NO2, and NO were calculated, as well as the influence of different reaction pathways, and the concentrations of O3 and NO2, and NO at specific reaction times. The results of the theoretical model were that the reactivity of the gas mixture towards alfa-pinene and delta-3-carene was underestimated. But, the calculated concentrations of O3, NO2, and NO in the theoretical model were found to correspond to a high degree with experimental results performed under similar conditions. The possible associations between organic compounds in indoor air, building variables and the presence of sick building syndrome were studied using principal component analysis. The most complex model was able to separate 71% of the “sick” buildings from the “healthy” buildings. The most important variables that separated the “sick” buildings from the “healthy” buildings were a more frequent occurrence or a higher concentration of compounds with shorter retention times in the “sick” buildings.

Testo completoA 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 airconditioned buildings than naturally ventilated buildings. The study was conducted in two stages namely a questionnaire and indoor environmental survey which was conducted in both buildings. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that: ' All symptom prevalences in both building populations were very closely related, however the SBS symptoms in building B were more common than air-conditioned building. The indoor environmental survey measured the following parameters: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, total nitrogen oxides, total non methane hydrocarbons, respirable dust, asbestos, sound levels. No measurements were above any threshold limit values or relevant scientifically acceptable standards, however in the air-conditioned building levels of some pollutants were higher than the naturally ventilated building. The study found that the prevailences of SBS type symptoms in the naturally ventilated building were higher than those in the air-conditioned building. The type of building population could also affect the outcome as has been found by researchers in the United Kingdom. The predominant population in the naturally ventilated building consisted of government employees which could have affected symptom prevalence.

The possible health effect caused by plastic building materials that are getting popular in indoor environment, have been noticed. This study aims at disclosing sick building syndrome associated with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, microorganisms and other factors such as ventilation, temperature, humidity, total volatile organic compounds and total suspended particulates in environment with the usage of plastic building materials. A questionnaire survey was administrated for investigating the prevalence of sick building syndrome; 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) were sampled and analyzed; other environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, total volatile organic compounds and total suspended particulates were measured by direct-reading instruments. The results indicated that, the prevalence of sick building syndrome was 40.7% when using "three or more symptoms affected by environment" as a diagnosis base; the prevalence of sick building syndrome was 66.5% when using "the symptoms became better when leaving uncomfortable environment " as a diagnosis base. People felt uncomfortable in the environment installed with plastic carpet that was a significantly risk factor after adjusted for sick building syndrome. Major uncomfortable complaints were mucous membrane irritation involved in uncomfortable eyes, nose and throat. The mean concentration of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in the room installed with carpet was 65.1 μg/m3 that was significantly higher than in the room without plastic carpet (p<0.01). During two sampling periods, schooling time and winter vacation, the concentrations of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol significantly correlated with the concentrations of Penicillium (β=0.51, p<0.05); the concentrations of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in small classrooms significantly high (211.3 μg/m3, p<0.01); the concentrations of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol also significantly correlated with temperature (β=0.64, p=0.03) and total bacteria (β=0.71, p=0.02), respectively, when the factors of “people” and “the condition of ventilating” are excluded. In conclusion, the plastic carpet, ventilation, volume of room, temperature and microorganisms in indoor environment would affect the concentration of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol that probably relate to the prevalence of sick building syndrome. Thus, reducing the use of plastic building materials for inner decoration and providing adequate ventilation can decrease the concentrations of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in indoor environment.

Abstract Sick building syndromes (SBS) include a group of non-specific symptoms, usually disappearing after leaving the suspected environments. Meanwhile, personal stress is also linked to reporting symptoms almost identical to those mentioned above. To assess the SBS, most studies have either taken the approach of questionnaires interview, or by measuring 8-OHdG levels only. None of the above can be considered to serve as a comprehensive surrogate for SBS severity. Allostatic load model, on the other hand, has been reported as an objective biomarker to reflect the effect of environmental exposure or personal stress. This study therefore aimed to assess the feasibility of using allostatic load model to characterize SBS and to examine the potential associations among environmental concentrations, personal factors and biomarkers of interest (8-OHdG). Health indicators and bio-samples (saliva and urine) were collected for 70 subjects, some of which were used to calculate allostatic Score. The quality of indoor air where these subjects worked was also measured. Results showed that allostatic load scores were significantly correlated with total culturable fungi, and 8-OHdG levels were with relative humidity and light intensity. No significant relations were found between allostatic load score and reporting SBS, but effect of metabolic system included in allostatic load model was positively associated with SBS. Association between 8-OHdG levels and reporting SBS was of no significance. Based on the study results, we proposed a model for estimating SBS severity as the following: SBS index= 0.311*forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1, L)+0.276*creatinine (mg/dl) +0.189*norepinephrine (μg/g creatinine)+0.117*working hour (hr)-0.426*gender (female as 0, male as 1)-0.321*race (han as 1, nonhan as 2) (R2=0.401, p=0.001). This study was the first study to characterize the relation among allostatic load scores, reporting SBS, and environmental factors.

Testo completoThere is international growing evidence to support the notion that indoor planters positively impact employees’ emotional states, personal health, work engagement as well as their overall perceptions of their work environment and ultimately impacting employee productivity. However this ground-breaking research has never been conducted within a South African Work Environment. Consequently the following study adopts a quasi-experimental study in order to investigate the impact that indoor plants may have on employee physical well-being, psychological well-being, work engagement and their overall perception of their work environment. Furthermore, the researcher aimed to assess whether the employees connectedness to nature influenced the impact the plants had on them, thus assessing how this covariate may impact the relationship between the absence and presence of plants and the above mentioned dependent variables. A Sample of 32 Global Service Management Centre (GSMC) employees from an internationally recognised organisation, Business Connexion, were assessed over a period of 12 weeks. The first assessment was conducted in the no plant condition, while the final assessment was conducted once the plants were installed in the whole office area. Additionally, SE Controls were positioned throughout the office area in order to measure the fluctuations of the air quality once the planters were installed. The results of a series of Wilcoxon Sign Rank Tests as well as Spearman’s Rank Order Correlations indicated no significant results; however upon closer evaluations of the individual scale items the researcher identified several statistically significant results that were unpacked and discussed. The readings from the SE Controls indicated either an improvement or stabalisation of the air quality variables that were being assessed in the current study.
