Scope and Accountability - Living With Sick Building Syndrome
Emma and Nadia are both mid 20's young professionals, students who have met for the first time in this podcast. They share their experiences with sick building syndrome. They each lived in new apartment developments in Perth, Western Australia. The recording highlights the fact that 'real humans' do get sick when buildings are not designed with their best interest in mind. It's a key lesson to learn going forward as the energy codes evolve and buildings become more air tight. We can't overlook the importance of ventilation.
