Ventilation is the intentional movement of air into and out of buildings. It can be done mechanically using fans or naturally. Mechanical ventilation uses fans to push air in and out. Poor ventilation can negatively impact the health of building occupants by causing issues like stress and frequent illness due to a lack of fresh air exchange.
This topic explains the importance of ventilation in a building. Identification on types of ventilation and air conditioning system, methods of installation of air conditioning system and its components.
Are YOU working in a TOXIC OFFICE? A Re-Look into SICK BUILDING & OFFICE!Abdul Shukor
You are earning a salary, working very hard indeed but you may not realise that you are working in a TOXIC Office! Well, that goes the dream of living happily ever after. Anyone can be affected by SICK BUILDING SYNDROME (SBS), but office workers in modern buildings without opening windows and with mechanical ventilation or air conditioning are most at risk. This risk increases if they are employed in routine work that involves using display screen equipment. WOMEN appear to be more likely to develop the symptoms of SBS than men. However, this may be due to more women being employed in offices rather than a higher susceptibility.
Possible risk factors for SBS may include:
- poor ventilation
- low humidity
- high temperature or changes in temperature throughout the day
- airborne particles, such as dust, carpet fibres or fungal spores
- airborne chemical pollutants, such as those from - cleaning materials or furniture, or ozone produced by photocopiers and printers
- physical factors, such as electrostatic charges
- poor standards of cleanliness in the working environment
- poor lighting that causes glare or flicker on visual display units (VDUs)
- improper use of display screen equipment
- psychological factors, such as stress or low staff morale
There can be advantages in employers being pro-active about SBS and asking individual workers informally about any symptoms they may have.
If there are credible reports of symptoms, a survey should be arranged in a way that tries to avoid employee discussion, which can distort the findings.
A simple survey about SBS should cover the frequency of symptoms and whether they improved outside of the building.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

6. INTRODUCTION
Click the triangle and
watch the video…
“Sick Building
Syndrome” is a modern
day condition caused by
badly designed
buildings.
The main source of
problems is often the
lack of ventilation. What
kinds of conditions did
the people in the video
have?
7. EXPLANATION
“Ventilation is the intentional introduction of outdoor air into a space.” (Wikipedia)
It is used:
● to control indoor air quality by diluting and displacing indoor pollutants;
● for thermal comfort
● for dehumidification (the removal of moisture from the air).
Ventilation can be either mechanical or natural.
Mechanical ventilation uses fans to drive the flow of outdoor air into a building.
(Wikipedia)
8. EXPLANATION
When a building or
enclosed space is
poorly ventilated, air
cannot flow in and
out of the building.
This can affect the
people in the
building.
Note:
This will fit better in the
platform.
9. SUMMARY
● Ventilation is the intentional movement of air into and out of a
building.
● Ventilation can be either natural or mechanical.
● Mechanical ventilation usually uses fans to push air into and out of a
building.
● Poor ventilation can have several effects on people in the building,
from stress to frequent illness.
