LoginIn Scandinavia draught, cold and temperature changes are very general problems. About 50-70 % of responders in the questionnaires have reported about these adverse effects and this trend has increased during last decades. These problems are related to discomfort, accident risks and also indoor air quality. Reason behind problems in industrial buildings is mostly related to climate, draught at outer door openings and problems with ventilation. Recommendations and regulations of these problems related to cold are also undeveloped, because the biological adverse effects of cold environment are not well understood. In this study we have measured thermal parameters in industrial halls to describe the seriousness of draught and main reasons for the problems.
