Am looking for some information on the possible affects to health, to personnel working in a newly constructed concrete building.
The building is a 3 storey state of the arts (won many prestigous awards), offices, learning rooms, practice rooms, lecture theatre, open and closed meeting places, kitchens, and break areas.
The area of concern, is an internal office which faces onto a corridor. it is supplied with a chilled beam ventillation supply system, (but no exhaust system?), and underfloor heating, which is controlled by a BMS. The floor has a laid (i believe glued), cord like carpet.
The construction is all poured concrete, to ceiling, and floor, the walls are metal frame with double plasterboard painted finish, with glass windows onto the corridor.
The office has been occupied for just over 1 year, firstly by 2 ladies, who both reported (to their manager) of feeling ill - tied, and an increased rate of headaches and sore throats - 1 lady told me that she had not been able to wear contact lens, whilst she worked in the room, the 2 then swopped then offices, with their manager,and she has now complainted of feeling ill.
Any thoughts, or direction to literature on buildings information etc, would be appreciated.
