OverviewSick building syndrome is for many of us an enigma. The legislative precedents currently being set in North America underline the need for rational examination of the problem. This new collection of expert writing will help unravel the complex issues involved. The book explores sick building syndrome from a range of perspectives: architectural, medical, psychological and legal. Each chapter offers detailed insights into the condition; taken together they highlight the need for collaboration in addressing it. The effects of sick building syndrome should not be underestimated. It is thought that up to 30 percent of refurbished buildings may suffer from the condition, leading to increased absenteeism among employees, reduced performance and ultimately building closure. Outlines possible techniques for diagnosing the condition. Offers guidance on eliminating sick building syndrome. Discusses the legal implications of not tackling the issue.
