摘要：

Indoor air quality requirements for healthy (healthful) office buildings in Nordic climate are presented based on the results of an epidemiological study. The study was performed in the Pasila Office Center, a modern eight-story building with 2150 office workers, located in Helsinki. The results of the study concerning the indoor air quality and health are summarized, and recommendations and their limitations are discussed. The following indoor air quality requirements are made for healthy (healthful) office buildings: (1) The recommended room temperature is 21 +/- 2-degrees-C, (2) individual control of the room temperature is desirable, (3) relative humidity should exceed 20% in all conditions, (4) the minimum airflow rate for good ventilation is 10 L/s.persons, (5) windows should be openable to give extra individual control of the environment, and (6) involuntary exposure to environmental tobacco smoke should be avoided.
