Building conditions, both real and perceived are significant factors in the health, comfort, satisfaction and productivity of employees. There have been many changes in the way buildings are designed and operated over the last twenty-five years, resulting in great reductions in air infiltration rates. These changes aimed at reducing energy costs, but have also, in many cases, reduced the rate at which moisture and pollutants are removed. Over the last decade, pressure has been applied to architects, engineers and building managers to address these issues because of increased public awareness, court awards, and changes in consensus standards.
