This publication is an update of BSRIA Technical Note TN 4/88 Sick Building Syndrome, which deals with the significant parameters, symptoms and ways to alleviate building-related sickness.

The phenomenon of building-related sickness (once known as sick building syndrome) has been reported since the early 1980s. It was recognised by the World Health Organisation in 1986. It results from a combination of physical, air quality and psychosocial parameters and leads to a decline of the well-being of occupants. The symptoms are interrelated, with sensory irritation often being one of the dominating complaints. It has been estimated that up to 30% of refurbished buildings and an unknown but significant numbers of new buildings may cause symptoms related to building-related sickness. While the actual number of cases is unknown, it can be concluded from the existing studies that the problem is widespread.
