It has been said that first we shape our buildings, and then our buildings shape us (Ashton, 1992). Concern for the health of the university’s indoor environment is supported by studies which show that we spend up to 90% of our time indoors (Baker, 1998), and that indoor air may be up to five times more contaminated than outdoor air (CANDO, 1999). The tendency of certain buildings, particularly energy-efficient, controlled-climate buildings, to elicit various negative health effects (including headaches, fatigue, and severe respiratory problems) in their occupants is known as the SBS (WHO, 1998). The indoor environments influence multiple aspects of our health at the faculties, and the author believe that it is in the faculties best interests to directly address SBS concerns on computer labs, as they affect the well-being of students, staffs, and faculties alike. 2005 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/41306/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/41306/1/41306.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying Abdul Rashid, Robiah
