Sick Building Syndrome

The book "Sick Building Syndrome" offers a comprehensive analysis of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in libraries and other public buildings. It highlights how the internal environment of these facilities affects the health of users. Individuals suffering from SBS exhibit symptoms closely linked to their presence in a building, without clear causes being identified. These symptoms often disappear once the affected individuals leave the building. The work examines the impact of interior design on the well-being and performance of people and provides valuable insights for teaching, research, and professional reference. It is recommended that environmental aspects be considered when planning libraries and public buildings to minimize the potential effects of SBS. This book is the first of its kind to explore the relationship between interior design and SBS in libraries and public buildings worldwide.
