This highly practical handbook will help make that process more efficient and effective.It begins with a guide to how the human body and senses react to different indoor environmental conditions, together with basic information on the parameters of the indoor environment and problems that can occur. It then moves on to give a background to the development of the study and control of the indoor envir 606 $aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aSick building syndrome$xPrevention$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering 615 0$aSick building syndrome$xPrevention 676 $a729 700 $aBluyssen$b Philomena M.$0961623 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456704803321 996 $aThe indoor environment handbook$92180172 997 $aUNINA
