Currently modern buildings are equipped with a central air-conditioning system. If the system does not work properly and leads to insufficient ventilation and poor indoor air quality, ailments may result for those who stay in the building, including fatigue, dizziness, headaches, dry throat, as well as eye and nasal discomfort. Such symptoms were categorized as “sick building syndrome (SBS)” by the WHO in 1983. In addition, because medical organizations tend to have more infectious agents than other types of buildings, they are high-risk areas where a variety of infectious diseases are transmitted. The air-conditioning systems in medical organizations require more attention. In light of this, the related management units of medical organizations should control the concentration of all types of pollutants within the regulated range and should implement inspections and regular tests under an autonomous management mechanism in order to maintain a medical environment with good air quality, thereby improving staff work efficiency and providing excellent medical service for the general public. Due to the fact that in indoor air quality autonomous management, a direct reading device used during inspections and tests to find spots with poor air quality inside the building plays a vital role in air quality maintenance, this study adopts the following approaches to better understand how the research subject, a medical organization, could make improvements in regard to it’s indoor air quality: 1.Analyze past environmental test results to determine if there is any violation of indoor air quality standards so as to understand the reason for such a violation and the appropriate method for improvement; 2.Conduct on-site inspections to find hardware that needs to be replaced or improved; 3.Refer to improvement approaches adopted by other medical organizations in Taiwan; and 4.It is suggested that parts that cannot be remedied in the short term receive a follow-up inspection in order to better understand how improvements have been carried out.
