Olfactory comfort
Intent:
To maximize olfactory comfort by reducing the transmission of strong smells and odors within the building.
BACKGROUND
Excessively strong or distinct odors can disrupt physical and psychological comfort, and even trigger eye, nose and throat irritation, nausea and headaches. Limiting these odors is a simple strategy that can greatly contribute to occupant comfort and well-being.
