“…Mushrooms, molds and microorganisms thrive in "sick buildings" [13], [17] attack potted plants, cause degradation of building walls ( Fig. 2) and their equipment [7], [20], [21]. The moisture accumulated in the room, at elevated temperature, is not only a breeding ground for fungi and molds, it also destroys building partitions and building equipment itself (Fig.…”

The reason why the Sick Building Syndrome appears is not enough flow of the fresh air going into the rooms. It could cause various ailments, although it is difficult to determine their source and the symptoms disappear soon after leaving the building. The paper discusses the sources of the indoor air pollution, symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome and shows the solutions how to avoid the phenomena of “sick” buildings. In addition, the results of questionnaire surveys on the well-being of employees, which were carried out in an office building in Warsaw, were presented. The vast majority of respondents in the building spend 8 hours, during which their well-being deteriorates. More than half of the respondents felt typical symptoms of the Sick Building Syndrome. To avoid the formation of “sick building” should be replaced regularly air. The exchange method is not important.

“…Recently, the improvement in terms of modernizing the exploitation of domestic energy resources has gained increasing economic attention. This effort is aimed at minimizing the consumption of primary energy [1,2]. The EU directive 2006/32/WE3 of 17 th May 2006 [3] obliged the Member States, including Poland, to reduce the amount of energy used by building residents over nine consecutive years, beginning with 01.01.2008.…”

The article presents the laboratory investigations of the basic thermal and hygric parameters of standard lightweight aggregate-concrete and lightweight aggregate-concrete supplemented with municipal sewage sludge. Both types of concrete are based on light aggregates, commonly used in the Polish building market. In order to improve the hygric parameters of the material, such as water absorptivity, the admixture of water emulsion of reactive polisiloxanes was applied. Within the presented research, together with basic moisture parameters estimation, capillary rise process was monitored using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) modified sensors. Hygric parameters were supplemented with the estimation of thermal conductivity coefficient λ determined using stationary method. The analysis of thermal and hygric properties of concrete confirmed the applicability of lightweight aggregate-concrete with sewage sludge supplementation for further production.

“…These factors significantly affect the well-being and health of people living in such spaces [3][4][5]. Failure to provide adequate air quality causes residents to experience a number of symptoms of sick building syndrome (SBS) [6,7] including headache, dizziness, dry linings, drowsiness, shortness of breath, and fainting.…”

This study presents the results of research on heat loss from various types of residential buildings through ventilation systems. Experimental research was done to analyse the effectiveness of ventilation systems of different types and determine the parameters of air discharged via the ventilation ducts. A model of heat loss from the discharge of exhaust air outside through air ducts has since been developed. Experiments were conducted on three experimental systems of building ventilation: gravitational, mechanical, and supply-exhaust ventilation systems with heat recovery. The proposed model dependencies were used to chart the daily fluctuations of the optimum multiplicity of air exchange for precise control of the parameters of mechanical ventilation systems in residential buildings. This study proves that natural ventilation in residential buildings fulfils its function only by increasing the air flow into the building, and that this incurs significant heat loss from buildings during the heating season.
