Abstract
A building should provide a suitable environment for people or for equipment. In order to create safe, comfortable and pleasant conditions the structure and services of the building need to provide protection from the environment outside and to modify the environment inside. The basic human needs are for air, warmth and light; but other factors such as noise, glare, dirt, space and privacy also affect the human sense of comfort.
