Abstract

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) has been defined as a “set of adverse health or discomfort symptoms that individuals experience when they spend time indoors, particularly in office buildings, and that lessen while away from the building” Apte et al. (2000). Various construction elements such as windows, floors, roof designs and construction methods can substantially increase or reduce health and safety levels. This can affect internal and external environments in workplaces. Therefore, the more sustainable the construction elements, the less hazardous or negative impacts on the building construction, the workforce, the environment, the occupants and vice versa. This study aims to use existing building construction elements and designs in North Cyprus to create a framework for developing and evaluating suitable roofing structures for adequate insulation in the North Cyprus residential buildings. This was achieved through research experiments on the construction of building elements, that is, roofing. Most SBS buildings in Cyprus have no roof structure or adequate insulation. Therefore, this experiment was carried out to prove that wrong roof systems contribute to SBS formation in buildings and the rate of SBS effects on the end users.

病态楼宇综合症:理想屋顶对居住者健康的影响
病态楼宇综合症(SBS)被定义为 "个人在室内(尤其是办公楼内)逗留时出现的一系列不良健康或不适症状,这些症状在离开建筑物时会减轻",Apte 等人(2000 年)。窗户、地板、屋顶设计和施工方法等各种建筑元素都会大大提高或降低健康和安全水平。这会影响工作场所的内部和外部环境。因此,建筑元素的可持续性越强,对建筑施工、劳动力、环境、居住者的危害或负面影响就越小,反之亦然。本研究旨在利用北塞浦路斯现有的建筑构造元素和设计,创建一个框架,用于开发和评估合适的屋顶结构,以充分隔热北塞浦路斯的住宅建筑。这是通过对建筑构件(即屋顶)进行研究实验来实现的。塞浦路斯的大多数 SBS 建筑都没有屋顶结构或足够的隔热材料。因此,该实验旨在证明错误的屋顶系统会导致建筑物中 SBS 的形成,以及 SBS 对最终用户的影响率。
