title: The effects of building design and use on air quality.
abstract: The authors describe a "total building performance" approach to analyzing and remediating problem buildings, including the effects of overall building design as well as specific components, systems, and system integration. The importance of individual control of the local environment is discussed, and a summary approach to the creation of healthy buildings is presented.
