Samenvatting
Een belangrijke energiebesparende maatregel na de oliecrisis in 1973 was het reduceren van de in- en uitstromende lucht in kantoorgebouwen (1, 2). Tegenwoordig is meer dan 50% van de volwassen beroepsbevolking in West-Europa en de Verenigde Staten werkzaam in kantoorgebouwen (2). Een groot deel hiervan wordt kunstmatig geventileerd. In een modern gebouw met airconditioning zijn alle ramen naar buiten toe gesloten en wordt slechts een klein percentage van de lucht ververst. De voortdurende recirculatie van lucht kan leiden tot gezondheidsklachten.
