Description
Summary:"Sick Building Syndrome" (SBS) pertains to instances where individuals experience health concerns inside a building, even if the cause isn't readily apparent. This problem commonly arises due to factors like inadequate ventilation, poor outdoor air quality, indoor pollutants, maintenance shortcomings, malfunctioning HVAC systems, water damage, and the activities conducted within the building. This research specifically focuses on comprehending the reasons behind SBS occurrences in mosques and formulating strategies for its mitigation. In order to accomplish this, a dual research strategy is utilized, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods. The researchers distributed surveys to residents of the Perak Tengah district to gather quantitative insights. Concurrently, qualitative analyses by meticulously inspecting a chosen mosque against a predefined checklist. The outcomes of this study provide insights into mosques that are more susceptible to SBS problems, facilitating the development of effective strategies to alleviate such issues in these significant religious structures.
