新西兰惠灵顿中央商务区的 1014 名工作人员接受了调查，了解他们因风引起的建筑物运动的经历、晕动病的易感性、报告的补偿行为以及对建筑物运动的投诉。总体而言，41.7% 的受访者表示他们感受到了风引起的建筑物运动，其中 41.6% 的受访者表示每月至少有一次可感觉到的运动。难以集中注意力是建筑物运动最常见的影响，有 41.9% 感受到建筑物运动的受访者表示。这表明许多建筑物居住者早发性晕动病。尽管强烈倾向于避免在高层建筑中工作，但高度易感人群在高楼层和低楼层工作的可能性相同，这增加了他们接触建筑物运动的可能性。这些高度敏感的人更有可能因建筑物运动而出现晕车症状。尽管有报道称晕车会产生不利影响，但建筑物居住者通常几乎从未对建筑物运动提出正式投诉，这与人们普遍认为的“投诉是建筑物性能的有效指标”的假设相矛盾。然后，一些建筑物居住者通过更多的休息时间以及在某些情况下服用晕车药来积极补偿建筑物运动的影响。讨论了对乘员舒适度、晕动病、乘员投诉率和补偿行为的影响。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
1014 central business district workers in Wellington, New Zealand, were surveyed about their experiences of wind-induced building motion, susceptibility to motion sickness, reported compensatory behaviours, and complaints about building motion. Overall, 41.7% of the respondents reported that they had felt wind-induced building motion, and 41.6% of those respondents reported perceptible motion at least once a month. Difficulty in concentrating was the most frequently reported effect of building motion, reported by 41.9% of the respondents who had felt building motion. This suggests that early onset motion sickness develops in many building occupants. Despite a strong preference to avoid working in tall buildings, highly susceptible individuals were equally likely to work on high floors as low floors, increasing their potential exposure to building motion. These highly susceptible individuals were more likely to report symptoms of motion sickness due to building motion. Despite the reported adverse effects of motion sickness, building occupants in general almost never make formal complaints about building motion, contradicting the widely held assumption that complaint is an effective index of building performance. Some building occupants then actively compensate for the effects of building motion by taking more breaks and in some cases taking motion sickness tablets. Implications for occupant comfort, motion sickness, the rate of occupant complaint and compensatory behaviours are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
