医院手术室的室内环境质量（IEQ）对节能医院的合理设计和运营构成了重大挑战。在对希腊九家主要医院的18个手术室进行审计期间，对室内环境进行了主观评估，并开展了短期监测活动。共有557名医务人员参加了一项职业调查，为审计的手术室的IEQ主观评估提供了数据。手术室人员报告了与工作有关的健康症状，并对室内条件（热、视觉和听觉舒适度以及空气质量）进行了评估。总体而言，员工平均每人报告2.24种与工作有关的症状，67.2%的受访者报告至少有一种症状。女性比男性更容易出现健康问题。特殊性格，如吸烟和过敏，增加了男女工作人员报告的症状数量。感到满意的室内舒适条件（温度、湿度、通风、光线和噪音）的人员平均每人有1.18个症状，而感到满意的室内空气质量的人员平均投诉为0.99个。令人满意的IEQ（令人满意的舒适条件和空气质量）将健康投诉的平均数量减少到每人0.64个症状，并改善了工作条件，即使在要求苛刻的手术室环境中也是如此。(C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in hospital operating rooms (ORs) constitutes a major challenge for the proper design and operation of an energy efficient hospital. A subjective assessment of the indoor environment along with a short monitoring campaign was performed during the audits of 18 ORs at nine major Hellenic hospitals. A total of 557 medical personnel participated in an occupational survey, providing data for a subjective assessment of IEQ in the audited ORs. The OR personnel reported work related health symptoms and an assessment of indoor conditions (thermal, visual and acoustical comfort, and air quality). Overall, personnel reported an average of 2.24 work-related symptoms each, and 67.2% of respondents reported at least one. Women suffer more health symptoms than men. Special dispositions, such as smoking and allergies, increase the number of reported symptoms for male and female personnel. Personnel that perceive satisfactory indoor comfort conditions (temperature, humidity, ventilation, light, and noise) average 1.18 symptoms per person, while for satisfactory indoor air quality the average complaints are 0.99. The perception of satisfactory IEQ (satisfactory comfort conditions and air quality) reduces the average number of health complaints to 0.64 symptoms per person and improves working conditions, even in a demanding OR environment.
