A summary is given based on surveys including 2,435 workers in 80 office buildings, of the associations between HVAC design and maintenance characteristics or building maintenance characteristics and work-related lower respiratory symptoms, allergic symptoms, and asthma development. The statistical models determined the strength and statistical uncertainty of associations between health outcomes and the building and HVAC characteristics. The models calculate values of relative risk (RR). The results are presented as percent increases or percent decreases in prevalence of health outcomes.
