Buildings and premises where we stay regularly and for a long time place high demands on air quality. Public premises require a certain proportion of outdoor air in the ventilation. However, humidity and temperature must be kept constant at a carefully determined level. Moisture affects the entire building, from the actual building elements to those who are there and their health.
Even materials that are stored or used within the premises can be damaged by too high a moisture level with corrosion or mould formation. Poor indoor air quality leads to headaches, fatigue, asthma (and other airway related problems) and difficulty concentrating, resulting in a less productive workplace. Some office buildings also have archives or private art collections that must be protected from decay.
