1 HUMAN SYSTEMS SKIN BONES NERVES HEART LUNGS VESSELS INDOOR ENVIRONMENT PRODUCTIVE WORK ENERGY WATER HUMAN SYSTEMS WASTE WASTE INDOOR HEALTH ISSUES The effect of building health on the humans and human systems housed within is not insignificant. Occupants spend up to one third of their lives within the indoor environment. Long term effects of temperature, humidity, pressure, noise, vibration, particulates and airborne contaminants may have direct and indirect consequences on individual health. Emerging research suggests long term exposure to very low concentrations of certain molds, allergens and other airborne contaminants may lead to sensitization, manifested in a broad spectrum of symptoms. Many of the symptoms associated with indoor air quality directly affect concentration and productivity. Buildings are communities where the knowledge, perception and concern of individuals becomes a part of the collective experience. Indirect effects of indoor building health include recruitment, retention, productivity, and culture.

Building Portfolios Campus Systems have different renewal needs. Laboratory and Research Buildings often have the highest needs.

7 BUILDING SYSTEMS ENVELOPE STRUCTURE ELECTRICAL MECHANICAL AIR INTAKE PIPING OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT BUILDING SYSTEMS ENERGY WATER LIKE HUMANS Buildings on a University Campus share certain characteristics with humans. Like the systems that make up the human anatomy, building infrastructure includes many intertwined and specialized elements that work together in dynamic and complex ways. Individual systems age at different rates and in different ways subject, in part, to the level of preventative care and maintenance applied. System VisIbility Building systems may be categorized as In Front of the Walls or Behind the Walls. Due to their visibility, routine renewal of the more visible systems is likely to occur in a budget constrained campus environment on a more frequent basis than those systems Behind the Walls.

Eventually, failure to renew the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems can lead to escalating annual energy and maintenance cost burdens and unhealthy indoor environments. 6 Over a year laboratory building life, the ratio of the magnitude of periodic renewal costs of hidden infrastructure Behind the Walls can be 3X that of visible systems In Front of the Walls.
