If your building has poor indoor air quality, then this can result in occupants experiencing unpleasant symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. This effect is commonly known as Sick Building Syndrome, as it typically occurs in large open-plan offices with automated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
