Interim results are presented from a long-term German project investigating the effects of indoor climate and indoor air quality on the health, performance and well-being of more than 3,000 office workers. The ProKlimA project started in February 1995 with the aim of gaining insight into the phenomeno logy and aetiology of the so-called 'sick building syndrome' (SBS). One of the main findings from the project is that SBS-associated symptoms are experi enced in both air-conditioned and naturally ventilated buildings. However in air-conditioned buildings the level of symptoms reported is greater and seems to depend on the quality of maintenance.

Key Words: Office buildings • Health • Work efficiency • Well-being
