Sick building syndrome is a group of symptoms relatively common among office workers; such symptoms could have an impact on the worker's productivity. The aim of this research is to provide a better understanding of the relation between design elements, indoor environmental quality and sick building syndrome within office spaces in Cairo, Egypt. Results show that a healthy environment leads to higher level of office productivity. Several design elements were chosen to be analysed according to previous studies, and their relation to the indoor environmental quality was noted. The prevalence of these elements on sick building syndrome was studied. An empirical comparative study has been conducted within two administrative office buildings at Cairo campus of the ‘Arab Academy for Science Technology & Maritime Transport' in Egypt. Data collection was done by a self-administrated questionnaire. The questionnaire includes personal background, work design elements, socio-demographic elements and symptoms of sick building syndrome. Headache and fatigue were the most prevalent symptoms in both buildings. This study revealed that office comfort is the most important factor affecting office occupants and should be taken seriously when designing office spaces for better working environment free of sick building syndrome.

埃及开罗的病态建筑综合症和办公空间设计

病态建筑综合症是在上班族中相对普遍的一组症状。这些症状可能会影响工人的生产率。这项研究的目的是为了更好地理解埃及开罗办公空间内设计元素,室内环境质量和病态建筑综合症之间的关系。结果表明,健康的环境可以提高办公室的生产率。根据以前的研究选择了几种设计元素进行分析,并指出了它们与室内环境质量的关系。研究了这些因素在病态建筑综合症中的普遍性。在埃及“阿拉伯科学技术与海运学院”的开罗校区的两栋行政办公大楼内进行了实证比较研究。数据收集是通过自我管理的问卷进行的。问卷包括个人背景,工作设计要素,社会人口统计学要素和病态建筑综合症的症状。头痛和疲劳是两个建筑物中最普遍的症状。这项研究表明,办公室舒适度是影响办公室人员的最重要因素,在设计办公场所以改善没有病态建筑综合症的工作环境时应认真考虑。
